Every Maldivian tourist island has the ideal set of conditions for kitesurfing. Although this is rather a novel addition, water-sports schools include kitesurfing in their curriculum.
What is kitesurfing?
Also referred to as kiteboarding, kitesurfing is somewhat extreme. The kiter is slid on the surface of the water by a strong power kite. Kitesurfing is a combination of surfing, paragliding, and windsurfing.
Accommodation for kite surfers
The Maldives is one of the destinations reputed for accommodation. The country offers a wide range of options. If you intend to devote most of your time to kitesurfing, you should consider a Maldives kitesurfing resort. With the likes of Heritance Aarah Maldives, making a choice shouldn’t be too difficult.
Kitesurfing equipment
You can rent everything you need onsite. The resorts are able to provide their guests with the required water sports gear.
Best time to visit
The best time to visit the Maldives for kitesurfing is from May to October; this is when the strength of the winds ranges between 15 and 20 knots.
Choosing an instructor
A beginner should be instructed by an instructor with a lot of experience and qualifications. Kitesurfing is relatively dangerous, and a novice should be taught how to get the basics right.
