I know conditions overthere, I mean safety, waves and wind, I ve taken lessons in Guincho.
I am not a guy who likes to take risks, so before entering a water I will certainly spend hours with my own kite on the beach just to be sure I know it well enough to enter water and then I wont do it with beach full of people or surfers.
In fact I saw a guy who came with his own kite without any lessons before, tried to enter the water and was drugged out of it and ended in the middle of the beach. Luckily he didn´t hurt anyone or himself.
I also witnessed a visit of Portugese sea guard on the beach just to warn kitesurfers to be more carefull.
Anyway probably your suggestion to start in costa de caparica is optimal, but after practicing there I would like to kite in guincho. And then what do you think with my weight and wind conditions in guincho I should buy 12m or 14m, for now I think 14m will give me greater range of opportunities to kitesurf without being overpowered with winds stronger than 20 knots.
Well done with Spain, u send them home, é viva espanha
