Kitesurfing Holiday in Sotavento
Established over 20 years ago, the Rene Egli centre has one of the most comprehensive stocks of Kiting kit that we have seen, on one of the most awesome locations to be found anywhere. The kite centre here has established Sotavento's reputation as an excellent kite spot and hosted the 2001 & 2002 Kite-World cup.
This is an ideal spot for all levels. A periodically flooded lagoon area makes for a perfect practice and training area in safe, flat, waist high water a short stroll from the centre. For the upwind to advanced kiter a short hop over the sand bar there is a dedicated Kiting Zone on the open sea, where you start to feel the pull of the Sotavento wind for which it is so famous.
The beach area here is phenomenal. Nothing will prepare you for your first view of the beach, which stretches as far as the eye can see in both directions, with a massive area for launching, landing and training on the beach.
