Iconic Spots
Places that shaped
the kite scene.
Some spots are more than locations. They are meeting points, event stages and seasonal homes for riders from all over the world.
Cape Town, South Africa
One of the global homes of Big Air. Around King of the Air season, Cape Town becomes the meeting point for many of the world's best riders, with strong wind, dramatic scenery and a scene built around performance.
Tarifa, Spain
Europe's kite capital. At the Strait of Gibraltar, Atlantic and Mediterranean conditions meet, creating one of the most reliable and intense wind corridors in Europe.
Le Barcarès / Leucate, France
Home of Lords of Tram and one of Europe's most important Big Air stages. Around spring, this region becomes a serious meeting point for riders chasing strong Tramontane wind and high level competition.
Dakhla, Morocco
A desert lagoon with reliable wind and a unique atmosphere. Dakhla has become one of the most recognizable kite destinations in the world, blending flatwater, progression and adventure.
Cumbuco, Brazil
A classic Brazilian kite hub with steady trade winds, warm water and access to some of the most famous lagoons in the scene. For many riders, Brazil is progression season.
