The BEST places to KITESURF in the WORLD!! 😄

[@PFpants]

Right now I would just like ANY place to kitesurf...

[@hugowigglesworth]

Agreed

[@drewby4563]

Right now I wana just go back to work & to hell with the virus

[@owenconnors9119]

19M lines +19M lines= far enough to meet social distancing guidelines anywhere!

[@yodason1717]

Why there is no Hel Peninsula :( !? :)

[@Milkshakes-Den]

I’m sitting between seasons with wind shifting 360° around and an average of 30th or less. I’m waiting for the strong wind to kick back in.

[@ismaelmignini5866]

Tarifa is a good spot as well, wind almost every day during Summer and winter 🌬

[@olenieuwenhuizen8356]

yeah tarifa is absolutly awesome

[@somethowawayhandle]

Way too crowded during peak times

[@thiagoaustralia183]

I just started learning how to kite and had no clue that where I live here in Safety Bay Western Australia was one of the best places in the world to kite. Very lucky to have the pound just few minutes away , beautiful beach and consistent wind 🏝️. One day I will go back to Brazil and explore my home country 🤙.

[@ArthurRosaTV]

I live in Ceará, Brasil. It’s the best. Cheap, amazing wind, waves, lagoons, down wind, everything.

[@orlandofanti]

Have been there in Ceará, the only drawback is have to go back home someday!

[@casimircolomb3589]

In my opinion Zandvoort (Netherlands) is a great spot it is pretty choppy but very windy and you will be able to do your biggest jumps you ever did and occasionally some flat water. Im a 13 year old kitesurfer and I’m a local there

[@guilhermerossler7208]

Yeah! I’m Brazilian and our country have some of the best place in the world for this sport! (My luck) and Cumbuco and Taiba are amazing! Also add to this list Cabo Verde - ilha de sal - near to europe e cheap

[@KrissowskiM]

Which places at ilha de sal?

[@edhuckle]

my last three kite trips were to Hood River, South Africa, and Brazil. This is a pretty solid list. If you do go to Brazil you should go MUCH farther afield than Cumbuco or Taiba. All of my favorite places were on the other side of Jeri ... Specifically, Macapa is the greatest place I have ever kited.

[@Milkshakes-Den]

Here’s a bit about the Seychelles! 🇸🇨 Kitesurfing is not very common here but the locations are incredible! During the right season we have consistent strong wind blowing from the SE. The best spot is between 2 nearby islands off of Mahe. The wind blows through the gap between them, reducing wind shifts, and at the end there are some small waves going over the reef and making some smooth terrain. We have warm temperatures through the year and when the wind drops, free diving will take over your time. ⛵️

[@ctduncan1]

great list! adding Maui, Tarifa, and Cabarete

[@jfjstuyt]

I totally agree with you about the fact that the best spots are hard to get to.... a top 10 must I found is Aitutaki Cook Islands. Go out every day by rib and enjoy one of the most remote and beautiful places in the world.

[@SimcoeAce]

A lot of these places seem unpleasantly crowded to me. Cape Town, the lagoons in Brazil, Hood River, Dhaka ... and many other spots. There's something to be said for the beauty of uncrowded spots.

[@RandyMcLain-x8f]

Totally agree, I've been to most but look forward to visiting the ones I haven't. Thank you!

[@JakeKelsick]

Duuuuude! Nice one! Production was on point with this one! 👊🏻

[@sidvish159]

There are some phenomenal spots in Mexico. From Baja and La Ventana to Tulum and Bucerias Mexico near PV.

[@hassanwardani9002]

Yep la ventana for sure

[@davehoagland8869]

Yeah, the best, we live there from Nov into May but I wasn't going to mention it, getting crowded there!

[@yodason1717]

Why there is no Hel Peninsula :( !? :)

[@pedrosantanna7274]

Great video, Sam. I loved that you named a country larger than the contiguous US as a kite spot haha Looking forward to check Mauritius out.

[@toshitoshi1392]

beautiful! I also love La Ventana in Mexico and Huahin in Thailand.

[@gerrit6898]

Huahin is amazing but propably not worth top 10 in the entire world

[@christianm6403]

Hua hin when do they have wind. Was there a few times never gad decent wind.

[@DiegoMosquera]

Tarifa! Great wind and people!

[@FGovernments]

Haha, I guess thats the only list without "Tarifa" :D (but I totally agree with you!)

[@LeoRakover]

Hello Sam, Thank you very much for your videos, I really like them. I share your opinion of Cumbuco Brazil, close to Fortaleza, I humbly believe that there are other incredible and very accessible places that you missed, 1. Punta Chame, Republic of Panama, from December to March, the ambient temperature of water and wind is magical, ideal for kite sailing from 12 to 8 m², weighing 80 kg. Amazing scenery, a fantastic community of kiters and people. 2. Cuesta del Viento, San Juan, Republic of Argentina, preferably when it is summer, from December to March, it is 3,000 meters high, an artificial dam to stop the melting waters, after 12 noon, the wind It turns on as if someone turned it on with a switch almost on time every day. For Kites from 6 to 10 m², weight 80 kg. Positive side incredible landscapes, incredible wind and people, negative, you have to wear a 4/3 neoprene suit at least, and on my last trips the first and second day I lost them due to the change of living at sea level and moving to the height of 3,000 meters of blow height. But once in the kite, everything is great. 3. Humbly I found Cabarete fantastic in the Dominican Republic. 4. Punta del Este, the Republic of Uruguay in December and January. 5. I never was, but it is a pending task that I hope to carry out that I have wanted for many years still when I was windsurfing. HAWAII, USA. Regards. Leo

[@SteveHofsaess]

Northern parts of Colombia are also an honorable mention

[@KrissowskiM]

Great info! Thank you!

[@yodason1717]

Why there is no Hel Peninsula :( !? :)

[@cmtpaulodias1]

Verry nice, but You miss Clássico Beach Club at Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Wind, wave, pretty people, party, hot weather, nice sunset. Enjoying it

[@flk6031]

you should go to scotland. great flatwater spots and waves aswell! plus NOBODY around. there were people at the beach and they asked us what were doing there. they have never seen kitesurfers before.

[@cyrilcyril9679]

Hello where in scotland , and which period ? Thanks ,merci 🙂

[@joefulton8011]

Cabarete mannnn!

[@sebastiansanchez4268]

Definitely need to visit México! Cancún, Yucatán, La Ventana and Bucerias in Puerto Vallarta are amazing places to kitesurf

[@KrissowskiM]

Where are the spots?

[@ercon4525]

I don't want to go back to Mexico because of the cartels. Unfortunately.

[@windtherapy]

Great video!!! Not surprised to see Brazil in the top of the list. When I learned Kitesurf and started traveling around, took me couple years to realize my hometown has one of the best combo wind/waves of the world! Paracuru!!

[@splendoreoceanico9923]

Marsala (Italy) is a great kitesurf destination too! Check it out. It's especially good for beginners but it offers great spots for experts too and the view is literally breathtaking!

[@billlawmarshall5197]

Hey Sam nice video. All of these places look really cool. Maybe I will get to some of them one day. The thing about Cape Hatteras and the Outer Banks is that they stick farther out so the wind and waves are better than the rest of the U.S East Coast

[@danulis]

Svencele in Lithuania is a good places to kite ;) Fresh, shallow water, no sand, just soft grass, wind can come from any direction, sometimes good for freestyle, sometimes for big air, sometimes you get just 12knts, sometimes 40+. Yes it is bit hard to plan when to go, but once you get to kite there, you'd love it

[@KrissowskiM]

Can you park there with a trailer and sleep in it?

[@chrismriscin9161]

Great video, and love my kiting house on the sound in Avon - Hatteras Island!

[@BarbieValladares]

Los Roques in Venezuela will love it.

[@luisantoniomoreirahenrique5586]

Nice video, Sam! Here in Brazil you dont need to check the forecast if you are kiting in northeast (from Rio Grande do Norte to Maranhão) july through november ( Rio Grande do Norte is as of september). If you go kiting in Rio de Janeiro, the city I live, you have check the forecast every day.

[@cineclips7985]

SUMMARY: 10- Hayling island. Uk. Waves and flat. Inconsistent. 9- Dakhla, Morocco. Hoteles en el medio de la nada, y nada mas q hacer q kitear. 8- Deprano, Gracia. Flat water. Spot is small and busy with kitesurfers and windsurfers.td 7- Hood River, USA. Consistent wind, great events. Public kite park. Super expensive and busy on the summer. 6- Safety Bay, Australia. Flat water, consistent wind during summer. Expensive. 5- Cape hatteras, USA. Channels, land gaps to jump. 4- Le Morne, Mauritius. Tropical island. Consistent wind. WAVES, perfect pointbreak. Expensive. 3- Boat trip, Caribean. Being in a boat for a week, exploring, different island every day. Light wind, hidrofoil. 2- Cape town, south africa. Great waves. Biggest jumps and kiteloops. Not for beginners. 1- Brazil. Flat water. September to December. Down winders. Strong wind.

[@mattscool100]

Need to check out Bar al Hickman and Masirah in Oman, consistent wind, perfect weather and crystal clear water. Best of all though, there are never more than a handful of other kiters at any spot.

[@AndiMannott]

definitely one of the best videos I´ve seen from you!!! thanks!

[@alessandrocoda4274]

Well done Mate👍 but in my opinion you missed one Amazing Place, with flat water and always guaranteed wind : Porto Pollo - Palau Sardinia 😎

[@kingace4267]

BRAAZILL 🌟

[@losl2]

Brazil is really amazing! In Ceará, there is the city of Camocim, which has 63km of coastline and winds of 30kt where the kiteboarder can do the best donwind of his life! #kitesurfcamocim #farolpoint #avqer #camocim #avidaqueeurecomendo #vempracamocim #camocimextreme #hauletrip #camociminesquecivel

[@rafan9480]

my top 5 ( have not been to all of these). 1. cape hatteras. 2.dahkla. 3. brazil. 4.northern peru. 5. cape town

[@Vanuska1980]

Paje, Zanzibar. Perfection

[@laurentmuschel9203]

Agree with the list. I would add Namotu when there is wind and Peru (Pacasmayo and Punta Luna) for the waves

[@robindestefani771]

Great video! I think it’s Drepano, not Deprano, but never mind 😂

[@dabush115]

Great one dudee thanks Definitely would recommend you to check out blue lagoon in Sinai desert, Egypt

[@KrissowskiM]

Are there any hotels nearby? Where do you stay when you go there? And which months does it blow?

[@xxxjohnblaney]

The best spot is where it all lines up and comes together! ........Ireland is also worth a mention

[@herbat1]

🤐🤐 let's keep the secret 🤣 yes, Ireland is the hidden gem... awesome place for kiting

[@alexperezdavid]

Check out Ikarus Kite on Isla Blanca, Cancun, Mexico, and South Padre Island, Texas, USA.... South Padre Island has a very long season, warm weather and water, flat or waves, cheap lodging, food, etc.

[@AlexLesleyforman]

Was in Tatajuba - really cool place and people there!

[@pixelloopy]

Hey Sam, how about Cabarete, DR? seems like it too has it all as well, waves, flat water and I think even some rails in the lagoon.

[@jefflucas_life]

Thank you for this video!

[@JustRandomShitx]

yes!! I went kitesurfing in Ilha de Guajiru, 100% recommended, besides great kite conditions, there is amazing food and such a nice community :)

[@julianjuliadorey203]

You'd love Bantham in South Devon, a great place when it's ON. Mostly waves and kickers but truly one of the best in the UK.

[@paeschristiano]

Brazil #1 hands down! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@bodhisar]

1:17 What a shame, Sam! Respect windsurfers too, they are awesome guys :)

[@robabroad31]

Yeah great video but a lot of kitesurfers are ex windsurfers! I love both and don't see much conflict when I go to Avon beach or Portland.

[@saradelrey433]

Hi Sam! Great video! I think you are missing Tarifa (south of Spain) it gets busy in high season, but its a great spot! and lots to do !

[@nelsonlivestock]

Hood River for sure! But you missed Maui and South Padre Island Texas. Dying to go to the Cook Islands and Dahkla.

[@willnicholls5]

Sick! No.10 is the one for me

[@tomasbachiega3538]

Awesome! Brazil is really great.

[@arsa4fun]

Aruba had some cool spots:)

[@SeemaWrites1000]

The most entertaining sport on earth, in my view.

[@naturesportvanlife4565]

Sansibar, Tarifa and Sankt Peter Ording is missing😉🤙🏼

[@surfchicka7387]

Your right I spent 9 years kitesurfing the northeast of brasil 500klm downwinders , waves flat water 🇧🇷🇧🇷🤟amazing 😁

[@cleitonsoutodealmeida9711]

Hi Sam, Congrats for this great selection of a stunning places, I am not a kiter although made me very happy to see my region on it. Thanks. Abraço. Clay - Vila Preá - Jericoacoara - Ceará

[@Silair]

Silvaplana is also pretty impressive. It is totally in the mountains, 1800m over sea level. With a view directly to the snowy mountains and glaciers...

[@jcat29]

Corpus Christi, Texas. The windiest spot in the continental United States! We have flat water, bays, and surf year around. Wetsuit in the winter, 86 degree water in the summer.

[@cjprimata]

Natal. Start there. You can go north our south for few hundred miles

[@ace_screamer8019]

I think that dakhla deserve to be one of the 3 bests spots in the world because of the wind that is always good. Also we can find in dakhla flat spots, speed spots, wave spots and we can do some incredible down winds to the white dune for example. Good video thanks for your advise. And in brazil, is Jericoacoara the spot you’re showing in the video ?

[@ercon4525]

Since nobody answered... Definitely not Jericoacoara. And definitely in Ceará state, north of Fortaleza. There's more than one spot when he shows Brazil, but all in Ceará and north of Fortaleza.

[@wernerxldata]

Funny, watch the Australian spot from 3:41, the video is reversed, cars are driving backwards 😂 Cool video by the way, inspires me to at least check a few ones on this list.

[@theohaynes4434]

I love your videos so much and first to comment and I love kitesurfing

[@2007dalin]

i don't think we have the best spots but i would recommend you to try kiting in canada.. its a bit sad nobody ever comes here lol we have epic waves on both sides as well as some of the best in land lakes with wind.. any of the great lakes or even the smaller ones

[@ericmistrangelo1322]

Enfin du rêve

[@DaBlunt84]

I was almost sure I will find Egypt on that list!

[@saltire546]

I like how you tell folks its expensive , not many council house folks into kiteboarding as it seems to be for the upper class folks .Just what i have observed.

[@Charles-POL]

You should visit Puck Bay in Poland from the side of the Hel peninsula where it blows 300 days a year and there is shallow water up to 2 km from the shore.

[@skinwalker_]

Where about in Brazil? It's not exactly a small place so some more detailed pointers would be great 👍 :-) Growing up windsurfing in Cape Town I can say that its an amazing spot to windsurf and I expect kitesurf. In the summer months the South Easter picks up at about 11am and blows a gale until about 5pm almost every day. If you are a beginner then you can head further north to the lagoon spot in langebaan which is also a pretty spectacular spot. The water is cold so bring a good wetsuit. Great video thanks

[@appolinechang1389]

You have also to go to Rodriges it's amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@VK-pl1nd]

Tarifa, Canarian islands, Sicily, Boracay, Vietnam, Egypt :)

[@DiegoBergero-if6pd]

Try cuesta del viento. San juan Argentina.

[@nigelw.9043]

El Gouna on the Red Sea has to be on the list. Great flat water / bump & jump spot withe awesome wind and weather all year. Oh and Lake Garda in the summer isn't to shaby either.

[@redman2751]

That’s funny, hatteras is my backyard, super easy to get to lol.

[@Reviewoutlaw]

Great video as always! I now have my Bucket list!

[@davidwearne4176]

Watching from Safety Bay Western Australia. You got that right mate 👍

[@jdtravelninja]

great video

[@B23Shiky]

Awesome video! When you hit 10k subs are you going to do a membership like Nico Prien? The feedback on member riding/jumping etc videos would be really cool.

[@antoniozafirovic8672]

Bro, really nice, but you missed one of the best Spot ever: south spain: TARIFA!😊

[@williamharding9753]

Phy Quy Island Vietnam very strong constant wind from December to April is very cheap to stay but is bit of a mission to get to

[@babakitien]

Great video once again! Very inspiring

[@fernandoagf100]

Congrats for the video!!

[@ziadsoussou2827]

Pls. Heck out the Red Sea next time. Amazing conditions with a balance of diving when the wind is less than ideal.

[@adventureexpedition4693]

Your spots rock... I’d love to explore them all one day 🤟🤙

[@bartden9668]

Do one about spots close to the EU or IN the EU, like Sicily, Spain, etc...

[@antonybaert9910]

Sal!! Cabo verde!!!!

[@edhintz6066]

"Hard to get to" is definitely relative. You said Hatteras was hard to get to which is true for you and everyone outside of the US. However, for 179,948,346 or 58.28% of the total U.S. population that lives in the eastern US it is not that hard :-). Great list though, definitely need to check out Brazil.

[@gora4o]

Mui ne, Vietnam. I've been in a 5 places from your top-10 list (and even live in a carribian), and also Mui Ne is in top of the list for most russian riders, cause it's cheap, beautifull beach, hot water and windy everyday in winter. And also dont forget the Maui, Hawai, that also should be on the list, cause kitesurf sport was started there. So hope all borders will be open soon, and you will make top 20 places video next year after travelling more places )))

[@antoniogordilho5664]

Dont you like Tarifa in Spain? I heard that its pretty good, I have never seen a spot with so many kites

[@SamLight]

yes Tarifa should be on my list really

[@MrArvydeliz]

Thanks for the video Sam.. But you know that Brazil is as big as the whole continent :D Which places in Brazil you mostly recommend.. considering more of a cheaper places?

[@matthewgoodwin188]

Hi Sam what about tarifa

[@st202295]

Hi Sam, cool video and very interesting, can you make similar only about Uk spots ? That would be also very interesting

[@robinfrenzy]

6:27 Taiba lagoon? Dakhla is indeed awesome!

[@captshaky]

Come and experience mombasa beaches and shella in lamu island in kenya

[@digitalizations]

Fuerteventura, Rodes Greece. Hua Hin Thailand :-)

[@Brandon1115]

What do you think of Cartagena, Colombia? It's Caribbean, but not what most people usually think of.

[@jsosaite]

top 10 is on point .. thanks

[@brettwilson4258]

Aitutaki is hands down the most beautiful spot in the world to kite, and if you’ve come that far then cross off Fiji while you’re at it ;-)

[@SamLight]

Haven't made it there yet, I have heard it's amazing!

[@DaveBull96]

Brett, I have to agree with you. Aitutaki is magical, crystal clear warm water, and if you are lucky windy. My first lesson was in Cabarette, Dominican Republic in the 90’s, then Furtuventura, Canerries, and finally Poole Harbour, Uk. I’m now mostly around Sydney Australia 🇦🇺. When I tried to get my wife into the sport, 7 years ago, she didn’t fancy Botany Bay, and said the only way she would try it was if I could take her to water and air temperatures in the 20’s (C no F), knee to waste deep water and a good instructor. I found Andrea teaching on Honeymoon island, a sand cay off Aitutaki, for my 50th birthday I saw my wife get her first good long ride in the morning, cooked fresh tuna stakes on the bbq for lunch, and did an epic down winder with the school all the way along the inside of the reef to One Foot Island in the afternoon. Perfect, we will go back for more. We also recommend Noumea, in New Caledonia, for consistency of wind in Dec / Jan, warm air and water, and Kitesports over turtles. Okay so occasionally you have to do a little jump to make sure you don’t hit them, but boy is it a beautiful experience….
