What to expect

The wind-sport programme covers learning and progressing in kitesurfing or wingfoiling, using the lagoon between Lagos and Alvor. Equipment rental is also listed for riders choosing hire rather than a lesson. The school markets its wind activities under the Algarve Kite Center name as well as Algarve Fun Sports.

The SUP programme moves to the limestone coast at Ponta da Piedade, where the activity is paddling among the coastal formations rather than kite practice in the lagoon. Sunrise outings are one of the advertised formats. A booking needs to name the actual activity so that the school can provide the right meeting instructions and match the session to the participant’s experience.
