Kitesurfing holidays

Many people spend their free time resting from hard days of work. However, there’s always that time of the year when they decide to put a pause on their “nine to fives” and go on a holiday. While some people take this chance to go to a five-star resort and drink coconut water by the pools, others are more adventurous and prefer to pass their time doing something more energetic and out of the box. This is where kitesurfing holidays come into play. Obviously, the main purpose of such holidays is to learn kitesurfing and to actually kitesurf, therefore, one of the main concerns when making this decision is to choose a destination that will unlock the sport’s true potential. First of all, everyone should take into account that no matter the spot they end up choosing, wind is never 100% guaranteed, and that’s why kitesurfing holidays must be carefully planned. And don’t get us wrong, it’s not just about the potential lack of wind, it’s about the range of side activities that might or might not be available, in the case that kitesurfing isn’t a permanent option during your stay, or if it’s not all of the participants’ cup of tea. Kitesurfing holidays should be for everyone too, for example, if someone in a group, or family, doesn’t like or want to kite, that someone must be able to enjoy something else, such as the beaches, the local culture, the natural and man-made sites… and that’s where Portugal comes in and also where Kite Control plays its part.

Portugal is a rather beautiful country; it has an endless array of things that make it worth a visit. Not only does it offer some of the best beaches and kitesurf spots in Europe, but also has a rich history and cultural values that translate into amazing gastronomy, friendly people, imposing monuments and preserved wildlife areas. Anything that your eyes and soul might be hungry for, Portugal delivers. This is where Kite Control does its job. You see, Portugal is great, and the Óbidos lagoon is a standout spot for kitesurfing being able to provide many of the aforementioned things, as well as having nearby cities like Lisbon, Peniche, Nazaré and more, which themselves have immense richness to be explored… however, Kite Control allows you to more easily fully experience what the area and the vacations have to offer.

If you’re indeed looking for a kitesurfing vacation, Kite Control can organize EVERYTHING for you. They provide you with accommodation, kitesurfing lessons, kitesurfing rentals, kitesurfing coaching for advanced riders, and since it’s a holiday, they can organize everything your heart may desire, like different sporting activities, activities for the kids, etc. Here they offer you a complete package, you don’t have to worry about a thing, the people involved know the area like the back of their hands, and not only that, but they will also tailor 100% the experience to you, individually.

This customization process starts from the very first moment both parties get into contact, until the very last. Here at Kite Control we believe that a personalized service is the key to success. When clients get in reach with the school, they’ll talk to the manager, via email, or on the phone, where he listens to them starting from the very first moment in order to adapt the potential holidays taking in account who he is speaking too. For example, when discussing accommodation, if talking with a family they are usually referred towards an entire house due to it being more private, while solo travelers and youngsters might be better off with shared houses or hostels.

The process is also very easy and user-friendly, after booking and making a small deposit before the date of check-in, the school gets into contact via Whatsapp with the clients asking them when they arrive, to organize sort of a meet and greet where everything gets explained to them, all the way from accommodation to how the week will develop in all its facets. After that, the tailoring continues as promised and every day the school keeps in touch, telling the patrons the times for the next lessons, asking them if they want extra activities like surfing, mountain biking, etc… Everything to make sure the clients have a spectacular time. Tips are given on where to go, keeping in mind the client’s profile and what they want to do. At the end, the clients pay the rest, since the policy is to pay 30% upfront and then at the end the costumers can pay for whatever they might have done. Here at Kite Control we don’t believe this ties anyone down to us, since we love what we do and people absolutely have a 100% personalized blast when hanging out with us. Even after the clients leave, the job isn’t fully done. As you might understand, after some kitesurfing lessons, the most usual outcome is for people to try to buy some equipment, and Kite Control is once again there to help. We suggest and guide everyone through the buying process as well as following the clients as independent riders on possible kite trips. All of this makes in order to make your holidays as great as possible. Ride the wave.
