The kite spot in Diani Beach is suitable for all levels, with strong, consistant wind between 18-26 knots. Trade winds blow daily between June and September and from December till March. The Indian Ocean is warm so there is no need to wear a wetsuit. We highly recommend you bring a long sleeve rash guard as well as a cap and sunglasses (with an elastic band), to protect your skin from the sun. During the low tide the water is shallow, with a nice sandy bottom and flat-choppy conditions. It is also advisable to pack neopren reef shoes with a hard sole.

The Destination

Kenya is an amazing kiteboarding destination with strong, consistent wind and beautiful wide white sand beaches. Though kiting is one of the greatest attractions, the country has so much more to offer. These wild lands are home to incredible wildlife including monkeys, rhinos, leopards, lions, elephants and many more! You can become a part of wild nature easily taking a part in one of the Safari trips. The crystal clear waters are perfect for snorkeling and diving into the coral reef just 1km out from the resort. It is easy to plan a day boat trip to explore and relax on pearly beaches. Diani has several stylish places to eat or enjoy a cocktail in front of the sea where you will experience an amazing culture filled with many colorful tribes. We are happily sharing tips where to eat while in Diani Beach and what attractions you shall visit.

The Experience

KiteMotion Kitesurfing School provides an incredible atmosphere of like-minded travelers supporting and encouraging one another to progress through new skills and tricks. Take some time off kiteboarding to explore the coast and wildlife Kenya has to offer. The evenings will be spent together, enjoying BBQs with fresh seafood from the local fishermen - who will prepare everything for us, followed by cocktails on the beach. This shared experience will build lifelong friendships on and off the water.

This spot is appropriate for all levels of kiters, those who want to learn from the beginning or those who already kite. We will ensure you progress your skills no matter what level you are. Your instructor will give you lessons and tips throughout the day and in the evening will debrief and prepare you for the next days session.

Kiteboarding Lessons and Rentals

Kenya is getting more and more popular as a kiteboarding destination. With long, uncrowded beaches, crystal clear waters and strong, steady winds it’s hard to beat! Low tide is the ideal time for beginner lessons when the water is shallow enough to stand on the sandy bottom. Radio helmets are used for advanced lessons. All gear is provided for lessons and available for rent if you are not in lessons. You are safe with us! Our lessons are accompanied by a rescue boat always. KiteMotion school has two locations in Diani Beach, you can find us on google maps.
