KITEBOARDING IN COSTA RICA

Kiteboarding Salinas Bay

The best spot to kiteboard in Costa Rica and Central America is Salinas bay. Situated north-west of Costa Rica and just a few miles from the Nicaraguan border. Thanks to its proximity to Nicaragua Volcano and lake , this bay gets consistent strong winds form November to May. The wind is almost warranted during those months with an average of 95% windy days.

Kiteboarding is not so popular among locals although it is growing little by little, that is why the beach is not crowded as other spots. At Salinas bay we will found a maximum of 20-25 kiters in the water, so we do not have to worry about other riders.

KITEBOARDING IN COSTA RICA

Something different about this spot is Bolaños island. It ir right in the middle of the bay. It is a rocky island with clear turquoise water, you can find many riders there enjoying its nature and flat water.

The most used kites are 7-8m. Our kiteboarding school (Costa Kite), normally teaches beginners with 5m, so that they feel safer.

If you want to do kiteboarding in Costa Rica, do not hesitate and contact us. We will help you with any additional services, such us: transfers, acomodaron, rentals…

LA CRUZ

A place to live

La Cruz is 60km north of Liberia (Capital of Guanacaste region) and 20km south of Peñas Blancas, were the Nicaraguan border is.

The name of La cruz (“the cross” in english) is becas eof an incident that happened centuries ago. The mules used to carry the cattle form Nicaragua to Esperanza, and one of the mules was so exhausted he it reached the top of the hill that died. It was buried there and a cross was placed on that spot. After that, that cross was a reference point to let the mules take a break, before they could continue there way to Esperanza. That stop made some people settle there and that is how this town was born.

la cruz

One of te most visited spots of La Cruz are its beaches, surrounded by the breathtaking Salinas Bay. This beaches remain unspoiled and natural. They are mostly enjoyed for wind addicts, mostly kiteboarding, on the windy season, November thru May.

Right on the middle of the bay is Bolaños Island, a natural reserve, where you can spot all kind of birds.

The island can be visited by boat, or if you are willing to become a kiteboarder we will ride with you to the island.

Costa Kite will teach you all you need to become an independent kiteboarder. If needed we will also help you with the accommodation.

Costa Rica kite National Geographic

Avery Stonich wrote an article for National geographic sometime ago about kitesurfing in Costa Rica. It is good to see what students think of kiteboarding and what they feel while learning it.

My experience is that the first time that you get up on the board is amazing! The first time you feel you are riding on your board pulled by the wind is unbelievable. You have a feeling of accomplishment and at the same time you feel you want more. That is when it really becomes addictive 🙂 For some people it happens already when body-dragging or trying the first power strokes.

I totally agree that it requires so much attention and the nature around you is so amazing that you will forget about anything else.
