Just come back home from a sweet week in Portugal. Been kiting and surfing all day long. Went to amazing place cold Esposende, this is a big laguna/river. When the see it´s low all the sandbanks coming up and behind them you get thousand of liters of glassy water. In the evening the wind normally dropping and and it get´s super steady, wish I had some more days here to practice. Had my day of year with the sport 11 in 20 nots, to bad I did not have any photographer with me. This is for sure one of my top 3 kite-spots I ever been so for sure it worth to check it out. I stayed with the Lapoint kite camp in Viana Do Castelo. This is also a good kite spot, nice waves. So if you hook up this area you get what you want, waves, flat water, strong wind, lighter wind, it is also possible to find shoppy water if like that:)
My last day I went to Peniche for some surfing, It is about 1 our driving from Lisboa. The waves here are good, to many people in water but I got some few good ones so it was worth it. Now I am back home again and hope to get a trip to egypt in middle of September.
Cheers
Sigve
