Hi guys
I have 3/4 weeks in august I would like to go in a good spot for kite (better if flat and with some nice waves kicker 8) ) and also for surf. I am not an expert surfer so no need big waves or radical spot just for fun and progress.

Bali? good for surf but for kite?
South Brasil?
Srilanka?
everywhere...

Any suggest are welcome.
thank a lot.

North east of Brazil has great wind conditions in August and loads of spots with flatwater and waves. Paracuru, where i live, has a natural sea lagoon at low tide. Great for flat water freestyle and small to medium waves (1-2 meter) at high tide.
For normal wave surfing there is a great little spot here at the local beach of Paracuru. Waves are not too big but great for progressing. They dont break too far out so you dont have to paddle for ages. Just got to watch out for the rocks on the (riders) left hand side but the locals will show you where they are.
Any other questions about Paracuru or nearby spots just ask or check out http://locations.splocs.com/kitesurf/loc/paracuru.html

Enjoy where ever you end up surfing & kiting! :thumb:

Mauritius is a fantastic destination for kite and surf but local surfers are a pain (maybe the worse I have seen so far). It was a few years ago maybe it has changed a bit.

Yep there are a bunch of locals that push localism way over any reasonable behavior.
Then again it is a small bunch and there are many waves. Plus when on holiday you have lots of time whereas the locals are limited by working constraints.

Tarifa for kiting in summer time? YES!
We made 3 weeks Kitesurfing Holiday in Tarifa and have booked Kite lessons and rent Kite Equipment with Rebels kitesurfing school and that was the right decision! The organization was great! On the contact followed flowing Mail. This created a perfect book and a clear and wonderful realization of our desires for the entire stay.
After our Kite sessions , Rebels team, took us every night our and present us Tarifa from the different side. Party party party!! Tomatito ( a Must from Tarifa), Moscito (disco with latino music), Vaca Loca ( great steaks from Argentina), La Pescaderia (great restaurant for Fish food lovers), La Cueva ( Hamburger and Mojito specialist), Café del Mar (Parties till sun rise)…
What else is to find in Tarifa?
Windsufing, surfing, Whale watching, Gibraltar (need travel document), climbing, horse riding on the beach, diving, down hill biking…
Summary: I can Tarifa for kite surfing, relaxing and parties highly recommend !

Tarifa für kitten in Sommer? JA!
Wir machten drei Wochen Kitesurfing Urlaub inTarifa und haben über Rebels Kitesurf Schule Kite surfing Kurs gebucht und Kite Material geliehen. Es war die richtige Entscheidung! Die Organisation war super! Auf die Kontaktaufnahme folgte fliessender Mailkontakt. Dadurch entstand eine optimale Buchung sowie eine klare und wundervolle Umsetzung unserer Wünsche für den gesamten Aufenthalt.
Nach unserem Kite Sessions, Rebels Team, nahm uns jeden Abend aus und präsentierte uns Tarifa von der anderen Seite. Party Party Party! Tomatito (ein Muss von Tarifa), MOSCITO (Disco mit Latino-Musik), Vaca Loca (super Steaks aus Argentinien), La Pescaderia (beste Restaurant für Fisch-Feinschmecker), La Cueva (Hamburger und Mojito-Spezialist), Café del Mar (Parties bis Sonnenaufgang) ...
Was gibt es sonst noch in Tarifa zu tun?
Windsurfing, surfing, Wale beobachten, Gibraltar, Pferde reiten auf dem Strand, Klettern, Tauchen...
Fazit: Ich kann Tarifa für Kitesurfing, entspannen und Parties auf jeden Fall empfehlen!!

- Tarifa is super for kite and the night but not for surf
- Never hear about surf in Paracuru

I've been to Bali in late July years ago with the intent to surf the waves (no kite). I can't recall there was any significant wind. And as much as I'm researching for best windy wave spot... Bali just doesn't seem to pop up on the list with winds for kites smaller than 12m. Just sayin'.
