Notes from the beach

• The 5 Most Remote Kitesurf Destinations on Earth Without Giving Up the Comfort

  Every experienced kiter knows the moment. You're on a spot that used to be a secret, and you count forty-three kites in the sky. The water is beautiful, the wind is steady, and still something is missing: space. Silence. The feeling of being first.

• Kite trips with a partner who doesn't kite: how to make it a great week for both of you

  Every kitesurfer with a non-kiting partner knows the scene. You spend four hours on the water, come back euphoric, and find someone who has spent the entire afternoon on a sun lounger and now knows exactly how many pages were in that book. Nothing is said about it, but dinner that evening has a slightly different temperature than the night before.

• Four European kite spots where you ride in the afternoon and eat exceptionally well at night

  Long-haul isn't always necessary. Between May and September, within three hours' flying time of most of Northern Europe, there's a handful of spots with reliable thermal wind, warm water and surroundings where the supply of good restaurants, vineyards and boat charters more than compensates for the absence of a palm tree outside your door.

Built for the rider and the whole trip

Compare destinations by month, understand the distinct riding areas within them and connect carefully considered stays to the Kite Areas around them.

Wind may start the conversation, but the setting and stay should make the journey worthwhile for everyone travelling.
