Kitefoiling Coaching Camps
Portugal 8th - 15th Sept 2018

Praia de Cabedelo beach is located in northwest Portugal just a short 45-minute drive away from Porto, making this camp one of the most accessible of Progression Lives 2018 calendar. Viana de Castelo plays host to a variety of world class conditions with the summer months providing flatter seas perfect for some great foiling action.  A large seawall protects the river mouth and provides a huge, open ocean, flat section of water. Feel Viana sports centre provides one of the best set-ups for water sports that Portugal has to offer. Located within the sand dunes it is sheltered from the wind yet only a few steps away and you’ll be standing on your foil.

For this Progression Live camp, we have teamed up with Planet Kitesurf, offering direct access to a fully packaged coaching camp. Planet prides itself on its knowledge of each and every holiday that it sells, having personally been to every place to experience it first hand.

Viana do Castelo does not just play host to a fantastic foiling location, being positioned on the west coast with the full force of the Atlantic accessible at the next beach along which is home to some world-class beach breaks, offering some cross kitesurfing conditions. Hotel Feel Viana is located a short 5-minute walk from the kite centre; being built in harmony with its natural surroundings pine forests, it is sure to be the perfect place to relax after a hard day on the water.
