Kiteboarding, also called kitesurfing, typically relies on an oblong-shaped board, which riders stand on like a snowboard. An arc-shaped kite attaches to the waist, while a hand-held bar allows riders to direct the kite. To learn the basics, Cohen recommends blocking out at least five days for lessons and choosing a destination with consistent side-onshore wind , flat water, experienced instructors, and accessibility to launch spots with a sandy bottom and minimal waves and crowds.Nestled in the Columbia River Gorge about an hour east of Portland in Oregon, Hood River is a US mecca for kiteboarding.
Visitors can also ride horses, rappel waterfalls, take dune buggy rides and enjoy beachfront restaurants and bars. Cabarete is about 30 minutes away from Puerto Plata Airport.The turquoise, consistently 20°C waters of the Gulf of California and steady 19kmph-to-56kmph winds draw kiteboarders to La Ventana, on the Baja Peninsula, from November to April.
Visitors can also fish, go whale watching, mountain bike, enjoy live music or take yoga classes. La Ventana is just over two hours from Los Cabos International Airport.Once a sleepy fishing village, Prea is now a kiteboarding hot spot. The area, on the northeast coast of Brazil, is popular for consistent, warm winds that blow roughly 56kmph between June and January and water temperatures of 26°C most days.
