The spot — Moledo
Wide beach, steady wind, right at the mouth of the Minho river.
- Prime location North Wind sits on one of northern Portugal's most beautiful, uncrowded beaches — steady wind, wide open space, and a peaceful vibe perfect for beginners and advanced riders alike.
- More than kiting Even on windless days, guests can surf, explore the coastline, or simply relax and take in the natural surroundings.
- Easy to reach, plenty nearby Just 1 hour from Porto and Vigo (culture, food, city life) and 1h45 from Peneda-Gerês National Park for a nature adventure.
- Local expertise A new school built on years of teaching and kiting right at this spot — combining deep local knowledge with real experience for safe, fun, personalized lessons.
No wind at Moledo? Nearby Seixas often catches a thermal breeze on the Minho — flat water, great for progression.
