Kitesurfing spot in Kenya:

In Kenya the wind blows everyday from morning to dusk, 7 months in a total. We have two windy seasons: December – mid March and June – September.

The kite spot depends on the tide, is very safe with the side on wind. We work with rescue boats to provide you safety during lessons.

Kitesurfing season in Kenya runs from late December to March and June to mid September. We get very constant and stable wind. Wind direction in Diani Beach is side/side-on. Wind speed in high season (December – March) spans between 14-24 knots so you’ll need medium to big kites. Wind speed in the low season ( June – mid September ) spans between 14 – 30 knots.

Temperatures to expect : bikini and boardshorts weather! Kenya and Diani Beach is fairly hot all year round. Water temperature is usually about 28° Celsius but it can drop down to 23° in July and August so bring a shorty just in case.

Were are we based?

We are super proud to be the only kitesurfing school in Kenya which have 3 branches. You will find KiteMotion Kitesurfing School in Diani Beach inside of 3 different resorts:
