EA Kite & Wingfoil School Algarve

EA Kite & Wingfoil School Algarve is a Lagos-based school teaching on the Ria de Alvor. Its programme offers private, semi-private and group sessions, plus rental for those looking for equipment rather than a coached introduction.

What to expect

Kitesurfing and wingfoiling are the two core activities. Private sessions provide individual coaching; semi-private sessions are arranged for two students, and the group format is a separate booking choice. The school accepts both first-time learners and riders working on existing skills, with the lesson format chosen before meeting on the water.

The school identifies the Ria de Alvor lagoon as its local riding area. That is a tidal waterway between the Lagos and Alvor sides of the bay, rather than a fixed attraction in Lagos old town. Its public rental offer covers kite and wingfoil equipment. A lesson booking and a hire request should therefore specify the sport, current experience and intended group size.

Planning your visit

  • The local teaching area is the Ria de Alvor lagoon.
  • Semi-private teaching is listed for two students.
  • The school offers both kite and wingfoil rental.
