Location / Conditions
Located in the NW corner of Costa Rica is a bay called Bahia Salinas, known to be the 8th windiest place in the world. We have 25mph+ wind everyday all day long!!!
We have generally flat water conditions due to a reef that blocks chop and also an amazing island in the middle of the bay with a perfect white sand bar giving butter flat water on the inside. Can kite out there or ride with us on the kite lesson boat. The main kite beach called Playa Copal is long and wind is side shore perfect also for teaching and practicing after your lesson.
We offer lessons either on the island with boat support or on the kite beach. Two great options.
Offcourse weather is always warm and the water is warm most of the time but strong wind can mix up cooler deeper water during certain tides. We provide 2/2 shorty and booties during lessons and sell or rent them or if you already own them you could bring them….
Getting Here
The two international airports in Costa Rica are (SJO) San Jose is 5hr drive and (LIR) Liberia just little over 1hr. LIR is recommended airport much closer and a lot easier because it is a smaller airport.
We provide shuttle from LIR with our kite truck for $80 holds up to 5 and all gear and luggage you can bring. Taxi at the airport will run $85 or we can send one for you for $75. You can also catch the bus into town of Liberia (10km), and then catch another bus to La Cruz, our town (60km) and finally a last bus to us, Playa Copal (9km).
From Liberia or San Jose you head north on the Panamerican Highway to La Cruz, our small town which has a real Costa Rican community and everything you need. (Groceries, drugstores, banks, gas station, bus station, restaurants...Etc...).
From La Cruz follow the signs for "Bahia Salinas". You will take down a steep hill with an amazing view of the bay. Once down the hill you will arrive to a dirt road just follow it after about 10-minutes on left you will see our La Sandia Cabinas sign, you can stop there to check in if you are staying there or keep heading 5-min more and turn right at the Playa Copal sign.
Follow that until you see theKiteHouse sign and pull up to this amazing house with pool and bunch of kiters. Ask for Kent or Damien we will be either at the house hanging talking kite or down on the beach with a kite in the hand!!!
Transportation
If your coming to Costa Rica just for 24/7 kiting and for our many local activities and you arrive into LIR you do not need rental car. Our shuttle or local buses are fine. Also if you stay in theKiteHouse or the beach villas we provide periodically or other kiters with cars rides up to town for food/beer or local bus can take you. You will not be too isolated.
If you want to travel and see many areas of Costa Rica rental car is good idea or you can bus and taxi around. Our windy bay is the main kiteboarding sport of CR but there are other amazing things to see and do in this beautiful and extreme activities country.
