Looking through all the kite and surf trip reports in Morocco on the Internet, you come to the conclusion that the skating season in this country is very small and harsh wind conditions are not at all for kitesurfing. But having studied the kitemorocco resource, we concluded that there is a place in Morocco where kitesurfing is possible all year round. We are talking about a place that is located in the south of the country, in the city of Dakhla, in Western Sahara. A long spit goes far into the ocean, washed by the waves of the Atlantic from the west, and from the east by the smooth water of a huge lagoon, with large shallows.

In Russia, the geography of kite spots for snowkiting is more extensive and diverse than for kiteboarding. In our opinion, the most interesting and unique place for winter kiting is located in Murmansk region, near the village of Teriberka.

The village is located on the coast of the Barents Sea, only 120 km. from the city of Murmansk. Due to the proximity of the ocean and the warm current, the climate in this part of the tundra is very temperate and mild. The air temperature is very different from the central and southern regions Murmansk region. For example, in winter in Murmansk it can be -25, and in Teriberka - 8. But at the same time, strong winds are not uncommon here. Throughout the winter and spring, the tundra has excellent wind statistics. Also, the uniqueness of this place lies in the diversity of the relief and the huge amount of snow. Endless snowy fields of wild tundra constantly alternate with hills of different heights. Such a landscape is of great interest to fans of snowkiting.

"Blaga" is the name of the most popular kite spot in kiter slang. The uniqueness of this place lies in the fact that you can ride a kite here in any direction of the wind, both in the estuary and in the sea. clear bottom, warm water, the absence of a breaking wave and a shallow depth are the main advantages of the water area of ​​the Kiziltash estuary. calling card sea ​​lines are wide and clean sandy beaches, and moderate depth near the shore.

Where to kite?

One of the youngest and fastest growing sports - kitesurfing - instantly gained popularity in Russia. In 2009, it was officially given the status of a subspecies of sailing, since it is based on the forward movement formed by the pull of the kite under the influence of the wind. The nice thing is that kitesurfing is a versatile sport: you can ride the same kite on water, snow or even land.

It is important to remember that kitesurfing is an extreme sport, so beginners need to choose where to kite with an experienced instructor who can teach the necessary basics of safety on special training kites - aerobatics. They are intended primarily for safe lessons and creating simple conditions for a beginner.

Training usually begins with theory, where you are shown the basics of wind control. Once you have mastered the basics, you are sent to fly a small training kite, where you learn to feel and understand the strength of the wind and the effectiveness of interaction with it.

For experienced kiters, it is important to find suitable spots for kitesurfing - open water bodies with open entrances to the water, not cluttered with trees, buildings and children, or open snow-covered fields without power lines and similar barriers. Interactive communication between kiters allows you to discover new spots on the map of the country or the world - almost every open area or body of water with a certain wind direction can be the best spot.

You can find the land on the map and go to distant Russian kite surf stations that have the best spots for kitesurfing, for example:
In Ukraine - Olenevka and Mezhvodnoe
In Spain - Tarifa and El Medano in Tenerife
In Egypt - Dahab and Hurghada
In Kenya - Mombasa
In Venezuela - Margarita
Philippines - Boracay
Also have great places for kiteboarding and windsurfing in Cuba and Sri Lanka
