Diani Beach Kenya
Kiteboarding Diani Beach Kenya. The location boasts a consistent and reliable wind, miles of uncongested crystal clear lagoon and is known to be one of the best beaches in Africa.
Diani Beach is an all-round fun kite boarding destination that ticks a lot of boxes. It has an established kite community to make friends and hang around with. The beautiful reef parallel to the beach is an endless wave-riding playground and delightful to see.
Reef Kiteboarding is located in the Galu part of Diani Beach. The area consists of accommodation to suit every budget, cafes, restaurants, shops and amenities. The absolutely stunning beach is bordered by indigenous forest and wildlife.
The locals are super friendly, and the area is accessible and beautiful. Shallow flat water make this kitesurfing spot perfect for learning and progressing with warm water all year round. A wide, soft beach of brilliant white sand, a safe environment and easy beach access make Diani Beach a kiteboarding paradise! You will find the beach atmosphere very addictive and makes it great fun on and off the water.

“I came to Reef Kite Boarding Centre with my 12 students after the deal I had brokered with another kite school fell apart. I specifically wanted to support a local company, even though they didn’t have IKO qualifications. My students had five days of lessons with Swaleh’s team. The instructors were excellent, good communicators and respectful. My students (14yrs old) were very happy with the course and all made good progress. I would definitely come to this school again and can wholeheartedly recommend them.”
