Take a look at Obidos/Foz do Arelho area, you should be in that area soon anyway. Water is probably not as warm as you'd like, outside of Algarve you'll probably consider everything to be kind of cold, but there's a big lagoon there, a few villages and towns close by, and will certainly be more affo...

I'm really happy with the Manera EXO. Super comfortable and great lower back support.

FYI, Switch support told me the bars should be back in stock within a week or two.

Kiting is forbidden in Lagoa de Albufeira during the summer. Lagoa de Obidos, near Peniche (about 1h north of Lisbon) is an option.

Hi all, I'm currently taking classes in a local school and I'm starting to look at buying my first kite and board, and I could use some advice. I'm 1,72m/75kg, my local spots are usually in the 15-20 kts range, occasionally a little higher. Gusts usually to 24-28 kts. I will be kiting mostly in the ...

I bought a harness and an impact vest, both with great prices, and just got it delivered, took a week since I placed the order, and if not for the long easter weekend, it would probably have been less than a week. I had a small question regarding the payment method that I never got a reply to, and i...
