Kiteable winds range around 6-30 knots and for beginners up to 20 knots should be the maximum limit. A professional kitesurfer, on the other hand, can kite winds even when mass media urges people to stay at home and when harbours have closed.

Kiteboarding is a type of sports that has progressed hand in hand with the era of digitalisation, and because of that one can find all possible information about this sport online. The optimal environment for kiteboarding are wide beaches or open snowy fields, if the will to kiteboard still persists even during winter. Since Latvia is a seaside country, the entire coastline is kiteable, if the wind blows in direction from the sea to the shore. There are a few beaches with restrictions, but our favorite spots are Vitrupe, Salacgrīva, Zvejniekciems, Saulkrasti, Lilaste, Bolderāja, Pumpuri, Ragaciems, Bērzciems, Roja, Ventspils, Akmeņrags, Liepāja and Lūžņa.

Kiteboarding means meeting and aquiring new friends, imminent sand presence at your home, in your car and in phone buttons, addiction from checking out the tree tops even in the most hopeless days, hiding your newly bought gear from your significant other who for some weird reason doesn’t kite, as well as a “farmers tan” during summer, because there won’t be a lot of chances to kiteboard without wetsuit in Latvia. And most probably your interest in hockey or tiny sportcars might slowly fade.

Wing Foil or Foil Wing, as many also say, is a new fascination and type of surfing and catching wind. It combines different types of surfing into a new water sport. A little bit of surfing, a little bit of windsurfing and a little bit of kitesurfing and the combination is perfect. In short, wingfoiling is like levitation - an addictive freedom.
