The ideal wind for kitesurfing is steady and strong, with speeds between 12 and 25 (30) knots. The wind that is too weak will not provide enough power to propel the kite, while wind that is too strong can be dangerous and difficult to control. In general, kitesurfers should avoid winds that are gusty or unpredictable, as these can make it difficult to maintain control of the kite. Kitesurfers should also be aware of the direction of the wind and the conditions of the water when selecting a location to kitesurf – before and during the activity.
Learning to kitesurf can be challenging, but with the right instruction and practice, most people are able to learn the basics of the sport and enjoy their first experiences on the water.

For this reason, it is important for beginners to learn from experienced instructors who can provide guidance and support as they learn the sport. With time and practice, most people are able to progress from basic kite control and body dragging to riding on a board and eventually tackling more advanced maneuvers.
Some popular locations for learning to kitesurf include the Caribbean, Brazil, and South Africa. These locations offer warm waters, steady winds, and a variety of schools and instructors who can help beginners learn the sport.

A mix of strong & consistent winds, flat water, and waves.
