The 6 mile mirror
You want to learn kitesurfing but you are not sure were to go and what conditions would be best for you to learn kiting?
Good news because we do! The Obidos lagoon is the biggest salty pond you’ve ever seen.
This mirror flat lagoon will get you on the board, cutting through the waist high water before your holiday is over.
Break a leg and lean back
You want to kite and make real progress? Our first tip is free: take kiting serious and always lean back.
Your back has enough power to balance yourself. Use your arms for steering only. For more amazing tips book a course with us and let our instructors blow your mind.

Shane
Kitesurf Instructor
I'm from Ireland but spent the last 7 years living in New Zealand. In that time I discovered all kinds of outdoor adventure but really fell in love with kitesurfing. I'm privileged to have made the transition from a 9 to 5 job to practicing my hobby on a daily basis and am even more lucky to be able to do this at such an amazing spot as obidos lagoon. The best thing about being a kitesurf instructor is empowering people to be able to do something new and watching them accomplish new skills over a short space of time. I can't wait to share the fun of combining water and wind with you and look forward to seeing you in Óbidos this season.
Nicola
Kitesurf Instructor
9 years ago kitesurfing made me decide to quit my old office job and the big city lifestyle in Italy. I started to spend more time near the ocean and went traveling around the globe. “With a broken compass” I traveled to the Caribbean, saw many places in Europe and ultimately stayed in Africa. Kiting, surfing, getting to know different cultures and making me understand how important it is to care and to be in touch with Mother Nature made me grow as a person. Now I'm stoked to teach and kite myself in the Obidos lagoon and enjoy the perfect waves that Peniche has to offer. I’ll be honoured to meet you during both our journeys!

Manager Organisation
For a long time I’ve wanted to start my own business and I’m very happy that I made the decision to follow my heart and start this amazing adventure. After 10 years of working as an analyst and programmer it has been a dream come true to start-up our kiteschool. I love Portugal because besides kitesurf, I enjoy surfing the waves at the silver coast. So each day I face difficult decisions regarding waves or wind

Alround employee
Hello! I'm Jack, I grew up in Tasmania, and studied zoology in New Zealand. I had my first kite surfing lesson when I was 16 and have been kiting and surfing since then, loving it. Tasmania's kiting community is pretty small and there was one instructor here but he left, I was lucky enough to meet great people to show me the ropes. I want to give back and teach other people kiting showing them how fun it can be and what they can get out of it. I'm doing my instructors course in New Zealand and coming to Portugal, hopefully to teach one day! Woohoo see you out there!
Tess
Lodge manager
Since I've first been on a surftrip to Portugal five years ago I visit the country nearly each year. Last year two friends and I drove a campervan full of kite gear from Lisbon to Porto... that was the plan at least.. we got stuck at the fun and windy spot of The Kite Surf Lodge! Having this dream of working somewhere on the Portuguese coast for a full season, I couldn’t be happier spending this summer at this amazing spot. Since working in hospitality and showing others a good time gives me energy, I look forward to welcoming you at the lodge this summer & ensure a perfect stay!
Yulia
Host
Some time ago I turned my life into another direction. I left a big city, the advertising agency I worked for. I paused my own food project and converted office into freelance work for being near the ocean. I love cooking, communicating, being in a team, that inspires me. And I love to look in the eyes of those who enjoy this spectacular life and enjoy the moment.. Here I am crazy about surfing, long-distance running, riding my bicycle. Season or not — I can feel lots of energy and unlimited love from ocean sand, waves, wind and people of Obidos Lagoon. You will understand what I mean, for sure. See you!
Kaj
Manager Kiteschool
Since I started kitesurfing in 2008, I was hooked and I knew that this would change my life. After having a small Kitesurf school in the Netherlands I searched for an adventure and I went on a road trip through Europe. I love to kitesurf in Portugal and fell in love with this country. The nature, the food, the Portuguese culture and the perfect Kitesurf conditions make the Silver Coast a true paradise. See you on the water!
Cristian
Kitesurf Instructor
Hola, I am the Cristian from Argentina and Switzerland. I`ve lived in the Canary Islands for 10 years and there I discovered the passion for kiting and surfing. After travelling in Europe i felt in Love with Portugal. Portugal and especially Lagoa de Obidos offers great conditions to awaken your passion to Kite&Surfing... I look forward to seeing you .. See you in the water ..
Laura
Host
Globetrotter from Spain. Travelled the world for years and became a Yoga instructor in Koh Chang, Thailand. Now I’m studying physiotherapy and I can’t wait to be based in Óbidos for the upcoming season to find out everything about Portugal. I’ll be looking forward to share my practice every morning before your kite session! ...Not an early bird? Not a problem! I also started kiting recently and absolutely loved it, so you’ll definitely find me at the lagoon!
Get out of the wind
We all live for the wind. But from time to time it’s also nice to have some shelter.
Our lodge has very steady walls.

The lodge looks exactly as on the pictures: it is a big comfortable house with a nice bar and big rooms that are decorated with love. The best of all is not only the motivated and customer-oriented team but also the very beautiful landscape around this area. There's so many things to do and explore...biking, surfing, kiting, eating, drinking, dancing, live-music, beautiful sunsets, yoga, chilling, historical places and so on. I enjoyed every minute of my trip eventhough the weather was not as friendly as expected. I will definitively go back!
