Curacao Kitesurfing

The Caribbean Sea surrounding Curacao is a huge source of possibilities for water action. Forget about spending that lazy afternoon baking in the sun, GO  FLY A KITE!

Kitesurfing involves using the power of a large controllable kite to pull a rider across the water on a small surfboard or a kite board.

Once the kite is in the air it manufactures its own wind, which is proportionately faster, creating a higher rate of speed so you'll be able to reach high speeds, jump extremely high and perform "exhilarating" stunts.

Curacao kitesurfing is relatively new but is becoming increasingly popular. Since the beaches aren’t overcrowded the beginner feels comfortable in his efforts.

St. Joris Bay
Kite surfing can be tried at the St. Joris Bay with shore winds and flat water. Because of its large shallow parts, St. Joris Bay is suitable for all levels.
The wind in Curacao is around 16 to 20 knots from January until September when it slows down somewhat due to the rainy season.

Klein Curacao
The more experienced kite surfers could also try Klein Curacao which is an uninhabited island about 25 kilometers from the southeastern point of the ‘’big’’ Curacao. A two hour boat trip will take you to a paradisiacal setting of white beaches and crystal clear water with waves rolling in from both sides and butter flat water waiting to be carved.
