SeasonMay-October
Only requirement: be able to ride upwind independently. The school watches your first 10 minutes (a safety check, not an exam) and then the spot is yours. Sizes available from 7 to 14 metres, recent twin-tip boards, short and long wetsuits.
For experienced riders: we arrange lagoon downwinders with car pickup, and on strong northerly days we point out the alternative spots towards Dhërmi. Ask in chat for the week's wind bulletin before travelling.
What's included
- Right-size kite for the day's wind

What's NOT included
- Gear damage insurance (€10/day, recommended)

What to bring

Who it's for (and who it's not)
Independent kiters (IKO level 3+) travelling in Albania. Not for beginners: for them there's the lesson or the course.
Weather & cancellation
Hidrovor's afternoon wind is reliable May-October, but not guaranteed: if the day fails, the session moves free.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rent just the board or just the kite?
Yes: reduced prices for partial gear. Ask for the list in chat.
How's the wind compared to famous spots?
It's not Tarifa: 12-20 knot afternoon thermals, perfect for flat freestyle and progression, not for big air. Those seeking nuclear wind should look elsewhere.
