Kitesurfing in the UK – The Top 10 Airtime Kite Boarding Spots
Poole Harbour, Dorset
Possibly the most popular spot on the South Coast for beginners. Poole Harbour offers excellent windsurfing and kitesurfing, with shallow water and calm seas. More advanced kitesurfers will enjoy playing in the choppier waters of the outer harbour and sea. Unsurprisingly, Poole has many kiteboarding shops and stores, selling more kitesurfing equipment than you can possibly need, along with a friendly bunch of locals. All of whom will happily join you for an after session beer down the road in Bournemouth.
Weymouth Harbour, Dorset
Conditions in Weymouth are so good for kiting that the site has been named a Centre of Excellence for the 2012 Olympic Games. Flat, calm waters are ideal for beginners to mid level riders, while the experts will revel in achieving the highest possible speeds.. Get down here in October to find out just how fast is possible!
Shoreham, West Sussex
Very possibly the top spot for advanced kiteboarders in the South. Visit Shoreham to see pro riders honing their skills in the tricky conditions. Not a great place for beginners or intermediates, the locals here are very good and expect the same from other users of their spot!
