hello kite fellows,
i plan on making my dream come true and learn kitesurfing (around midjuly-August!)
i was thinking about learning it in Europe or Middle East. Europe (hailing from Europe) would be cheaper to travel though I think.
So I heard that Tarifa was pretty good but on the other side, I heard its overcrowded.
Then I heard about Wadi Lahami but it's probably pretty quiet (no nightlife).
I'm female and I will be on own and it should be a kite holiday so I wanted to be among (some) other people.
Now I also don't know if I should do lessons individually or in groups. I don't know which way I learn better (you learn from the other beginners and they learn from you - kind of system) but if I learn individually, how am I going to meet other people?
Or maybe you know some other good kite spots, I don't want it overcrowded and I want good teaching and a nice atmosphere/location where I can chill and hang out.
Any recommendations, tips?
edit: I've found now Cyprus, Greece and Turkey.. heard that it's not that windy at all in Cyprus! So I won't go there probably.
About Greece, it seemed totally overcrowded: Paros and Naxos.
Haven't heard a lot about Turkey btw.
