Hello,
I am a beginner and I want to try kitesurf in Colombia. Does anyone have a suggestion for a particular spot ?

I am french and I found a french teacher in Santa Veronica (easier to learn in my first language) but I am a little bit concerned as the spot is known for waves.

Thanks

About 6 years ago in late December (up to NYD) I went to Cartagena and for a few of days it was windy enough so got a taxi to the kite beach at La Boquilla. There are a couple of kite schools there where you can rent equipment, and obviously get lessons.

I would say it would be a good place to learn. The beach is wide and flat and the water is calm and warm. The wind on a good day can start at 16kts, build up to 25 kts in the later afternoon and blows steady onshore. But not everyday is strong enough to kite. 15 & 17m kites are commonly used.

You can take a look at the beach here:

Not the prettiest beach in Colombia, but that's not what you're there for right.

Also, this is an Australian forum and Colombia is a long, long way away from here.

You might get better advice from kiteforum. Have a read through this thread: kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=2405960

Thank for the reply.

Cartagena looks like a good place for me. And proximity with the big city makes it a safer place in case of injuries (I guess..!?). I will probably take this one :)
Another person told me to go to "Cabo de la vela". But it looks very far from everything so I don't really feel safe.

I had issues finding a kitesurf forum, so thanks again for this link too.

I don't plan coming to Australia, so I think I'll switch for the forum you suggested.

Thank you for all !
