Locations
We are based in South-East Kent, on the Isle of Thanet. This is an amazing destination for water sports and kitesurfing in particular, because of its beautiful and accessible coastline filled with sandy beaches. No matter the wind direction, we can and we will find a spot to kitesurf within a 20 minute drive. Our main locations are Pegwell Bay and Minnis Bay.
Pegwell bay is the ideal learning environment because of it large open spaces, shallow and calm water. The bay is southeast facing and it is safe to kite there with a south westerly through to a north easterly wind.
Through the summer months, the prevailing wind here in Thanet is a south westerly, this means that Pegwell Bay is our go to learning location. During this time the Hugin Green car park is open along with toilets and the lovely viking ship cafe where they serve a range of beverages and delicious food.
Minnis Bay is another great beach for learning water sports and is located on the northern coast of Thanet.
Being a north facing beach means that the spots safest wind directions range from west through to east with north westerlies being the most prominent wind here. You will notice that the temperature will drop slightly on this side of the coast due to the northerly winds. We recommend that you pack an extra layer incase and to bring your own wetsuit boots.
This beach is only accessible from half to low tide due to the sands being covered at high tide. The waters here are still very shallow for around 100m at low tide making it a great learning location. One downside of this location is that in some areas there are rocks hidden beneath the water. This is why we recommend wearing wetsuit boots to protect your feet.
