Tour Details
About Windsurfing & Kitesurfing
Madeira's consistent trade winds create excellent conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing, particularly along the exposed north and east coasts. São Vicente and Ponta do Pargo are popular spots for experienced riders, while beginners can learn in more sheltered conditions.
Schools offer courses from complete beginner level through to advanced maneuvers. Equipment quality is high, and instructors typically hold international certifications. Lessons focus on safety, wind reading, and progressive skill building.
The island's dramatic coastal scenery adds an extra dimension to wind sports here — riding swells with volcanic cliffs as your backdrop creates memorable experiences unavailable at typical beach destinations.
