Wave kitesurfing spots

In waves the kite takes the supporting role. It gets you out past the break and keeps you moving; the board and the face do the rest. Side or side-offshore wind keeps that face clean, while straight onshore turns it into mush.
Most riders switch to a directional here and size down a kite. Spots reach this page through their water type or through a wave tag kept on the spot itself. Brazil, Spain and South Africa hold the most of them.
