Choosing where to learn kitesurfing is an important decision to make. Different locations have different benefits and offer many different opportunities. Some things to consider before choosing a location include:
Wind: What is the wind strength? What time of year is best?
Temperature: Is it warm? Cold? Do I need a wetsuit? What thickness?
Kitesurfing school: Is there a school? Do they have qualified instructors?
Price: How much are lessons? Do I want to learn close to home? Or go on a kitesurfing holiday? How much am I willing to spend?
Other Activities: Is there anything else to do in down time?
All of these factors are important when deciding where to learn kitesurfing.
