The concept

Kitesurf tours built around conditions, not convenience

The Algarve has over 200 km of Atlantic coastline — and the right kitesurf spot changes every single day, depending on wind direction, swell height, tide, and time of year. Most kite schools in Portugal take you to the same lagoon every session. We don't.

We wake up early, check the forecasts, study the swell charts, and decide where to go. You show up and ride the best conditions available that day — somewhere along the Algarve's west and south coast, from Lagos to Sagres and beyond.

After the session, you leave with professional photo and video footage of your day on the water. Something you'll actually keep — not a blurry GoPro clip.

🧭  Local knowledge, not a fixed itinerary

We chase good conditions instead of repeating the same location daily.

📸  Photo and video, professionally shot

Every session documented with commercial-grade equipment and editing. The footage is yours.

🌊  Tours for riders, lessons for beginners

The Kitesurfari is for independent riders — but new to the sport? We now teach private lessons, max 2 students per instructor.

Wind-first scheduling: We don't run sessions on bad-wind days. If conditions fall short on your date, we reschedule within your trip window at no extra cost. Your Kitesurfari happens when the ocean earns it — and we'll be watching the forecast closely.

Accommodation · 7-Day Camp

One villa. One crew.
One unforgettable week.

The 7-Day Kitesurfari Camp includes your accommodation: a luxury pool villa in Praia da Luz, shared with your crew for the week — because the Kitesurfari doesn't end when you leave the water.

The villa in Praia da Luz

Home base for the week is a luxury villa with private pool in Praia da Luz, a small beach town in the western Algarve — for our group of up to 6 riders, and no one else.

Evenings at the villa are where a group of strangers becomes a crew: cooking together, replaying the day's footage, planning tomorrow's spot over a drink by the pool. If you're travelling solo, this is the part that turns a kite trip into a week you'll talk about for years.

  • ✓ Luxury villa with private pool — exclusively ours for the week
  • ✓ Your own room — shared living, kitchen & pool areas
  • ✓ Up to 6 guests
  • ✓ Welcome dinner on arrival night
  • ✓ Group evenings, shared meals, film premiere at home base
  • ✓ Included in the €1,800 camp price

The week beyond the water

Kitesurfaris are the backbone of the week — but not all of it. Woven through the schedule:

🍽️ Welcome dinner 🌅 Sunset session at the cliffs ⛵ Boat-trip kite day 🔥 BBQ evening at the villa 🇵🇹 Portuguese dinner night out 🎬 Final night: expedition film premiere

Travelling with a non-kiting partner, or planning to extend your stay before or after camp week? We know the area well and are happy to help you find an apartment in Lagos — subject to availability. Just mention it in your enquiry.

New · Kite lessons

Learning to kite?
You'll never share your instructor with a crowd.

PortuKite now teaches beginners and early-stage riders — through João, who runs a fully licensed kitesurf school and has been putting people on the water for years. Whether it's your very first time holding a kite or you're working toward your first upwind runs, this is where you start.

Most kite schools put four or more students with one instructor. We think that's how you waste a holiday standing on a beach waiting your turn. So we simply don't do it.

2 : 1

Maximum two students per instructor. Always.

Every lesson is private — just you, or you and one partner, with your instructor's full attention for the entire session. You spend your time on the water actually learning, not queuing. It's the single biggest difference in how fast you progress, and it's non-negotiable for us.

Private kitesurf lesson beginner instruction Portugal max 2 students
👥

Private only — max 2 students

Solo, or with a friend or partner. Never grouped with strangers, never waiting on the beach while someone else takes a turn.

🪁

All equipment included

Kite, board, harness, wetsuit, helmet — everything is provided and included in the lesson price. Just bring yourself and sunscreen.

💶

One clear price per hour

A single unified price per lesson hour with everything included — no hidden gear fees, no surprises. Contact us for current rates.

Photo & Video

Kitesurf photography and video,
the way it deserves

One of us is always on shore — or in the water — with a camera. Every session is captured with the same eye and equipment used for professional sports photography and commercial shoots. You'll get edited material, not raw dumps.

Full-frame cameras, telephoto glass. Timed to catch peak moments — jumps, turns, spray, speed. Not just general water shots.

🎬

Cinematic video edit

Colour-graded and edited to music. Not a GoPro montage — a short film of your session that actually tells a story of the day.

About us

Three people who never stopped chasing good wind

PortuKite is Nacho, Flo, and João. Between us we cover everything a great day on the water needs — the kite knowledge, the teaching, the camera, and the energy to make it genuinely memorable.

Nacho handles the water on tour. He's been in this sport since before it had a name — running schools in Tarifa and Nicaragua when kitesurfing was still a fringe obsession. He reads wind, spots, and conditions the way most people read a menu. Your safety and your session are completely in his hands.

João handles the teaching. A local who runs a fully licensed kitesurf school, he's the one who takes complete beginners from their first kite launch to their first rides — always in private lessons, never more than two students at a time.

Flo handles everything you take home. With a background in sports photography and videography, he knows how to be in the right place at the right moment — on shore, in the water, wherever the shot is. He doesn't kitesurf, which means his eyes are always on you.

What we all bring is the part that doesn't show up in a package description. We're good with people. We know how to read a group, keep the energy right, make a stranger feel like they've known us for years. The drive to the spot, the lunch break, the debrief over a cold drink — that's part of the experience too, and we take it seriously.

Nacho — kite guide and pioneer

Nacho

Kite guide · Pioneer · In-water expert

One of the first people to make a living from this sport. Ran kiteschools in Tarifa and Nicaragua before kitesurfing went mainstream. On the water, he's completely in his element — and so will you be.

João — kitesurf instructor and school owner

João

Kite instructor · Local · School owner

Born and raised here, João runs a fully licensed kitesurf school and has taught hundreds of people their first rides. Patient, precise, and allergic to crowded lessons — with him it's max two students, always.

Flo — photographer and videographer

Flo

Photographer · Videographer · Co-pilot

Sports photographer and videographer based in the Algarve. Doesn't kitesurf — which means his eyes are always on you, not his own kite. He co-drives, co-navigates, and makes sure the day runs smoothly from start to finish.

We keep tour groups small on purpose — maximum 4 riders — so the experience stays personal. Based near Lagos. Sessions in English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Questions

Things people ask

Do I need to be an advanced kiter for the tours?

For the Kitesurfari tours you need to be an independent rider — comfortable riding upwind, body dragging, and water-launching your kite. Not there yet? That's exactly what our private lessons are for.

I've never kitesurfed — can I learn with you?

Yes. João teaches beginners and improvers in private lessons only — maximum 2 students per instructor, with all equipment included. From your very first kite launch to your first upwind runs. Get in touch and tell us your level.

Where do we stay during the 7-day camp?

Accommodation is included: a luxury pool villa in Praia da Luz, shared with your group — up to 6 guests, your own room, communal living and pool areas. It's home base for the whole week, from the welcome dinner to the final film premiere.

Can I bring a non-kiting partner?

Absolutely. Your partner is welcome at the group dinners, BBQ, and the film premiere — and they could even use the week to take beginner lessons with João. For accommodation, we're happy to help you find an apartment in Lagos for the two of you, subject to availability. Just ask in your enquiry.

Do you provide kite equipment?

For lessons: yes — everything is included, from kite to wetsuit. For tours: bring your own gear, or we can connect you with trusted rental partners in Lagos. Let us know your size and riding style when you book.

What happens if there's no wind?

We don't run sessions in bad conditions. If forecast conditions fall short, we reschedule within your trip window at no extra cost. We'd rather wait for the right day.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend at least a week ahead, especially in July and August. During peak season spots fill quickly. Flexible dates give us the best chance of finding a great window.

What's included in the media package?

Edited photos (JPEG, high resolution), a colour-graded video edit, and all files delivered by private link within 48 hours. You own the footage — use it however you like.
