Hi
I'm planning to go on a kiteboarding trip the next week, but i'm having a hard time finding a good, windy destination with a kiteboard school.
Could anyone please help me?
It doesn't matter where it's located, if it's accesible, it's ok.
Please help

Cape Hatteras, Outer Banks, OBX whatever you care to call it!
Mainly warm southwest wind in the spring. Flat water in the sound and waves if want on the ocean side. Hard to go wrong there. Also there are plenty of qualified schools to get you started if you need.
Try Jay Crawford at Outer Banks Kiting.

If you are looking for an easy riding location and a good place to take
kiteboarding lessons then South Padre Island is a great option. The water and air is already warm and the winds have been blowing consistently this April!
South winds at 20-30mph for the past few days - view
