Welcome to the inaugural Zanzibar Kite Surfari 2016 with Jo Wilson’s experienced coach Nanette van der Snoek. This trips whisks you over to the Far Eastern African Island to feast your eyes on a glittering kaleidoscope of turquoise waters, azul skies, golden sands & vibrant green trees as you set your feet down on the historic spice island of Zanzibar.

You, Nanette and 5 other kitesurfers will get airborne and embark on a journey to improve your kitesurfing skills on the tranquil and exotic lagoon of Paje. This Zanzibar Kite Surfari is specifically timed according to the tides so that you can ride the flat, shallow waters of the inner lagoon where its crystal clear waters and sandy base can offer you a comfort cocktail of exquisite & safe conditions.

This light wind location is fantastic for coaching and you’ll be largely riding your 10m-14m kites making it phenomenal conditions to feel confident to throw more tricks then you dreamed you could. With the stability of these kite sizes and Nanette by your side together you’ll be able to minimise big crashes and maximise your motivation, energy and confidence to push yourself on to that next stage of tricks.

Your accommodation will be at the new Surf & Kite Village located 150m back from the beach either in Safari style double palm-thatched roof tents or in the 2 bedroom villa if you are travelling as two. Each Luxury Tent has lights, a fan and sockets to charge those camera batteries - lets face it with the kiting and mind blowing ocean colours of this destination a Go Pro is an essential part of your travel items. The tents have a large ensuite bathroom with open roof rain shower and a front balcony area. Beds have a twin or double bed option and are designed to be cool with full sealing mosquito nets & curtain windows. The villa has a bathroom & separate wc and a shared living space between the two rooms. The living space will be shared with the group for video analysis of your coaching sessions. An exotic breakfast banquet of fruits, pancakes, eggs, oats, bread, Jam, honey, juice tea & coffee will welcome you each day and you can relax as your watch the palm trees begin to sway and the white flecks build on the Indian Ocean. The wind picks up as the day goes on giving your body time to prepare for a stunning few hours of kiting ahead.

To offer some extra exploration of the island then also lined up for your Zanzibar Surfari is a long and luscious downwinder plus an action packed stunning day trip by truck and by boat out to the sandbanks for a full day of kiting interspersed with a seafood lunch bbq buffet. These extra Zanzibar charms are set up with the help and guidance from local kitesurfing expert/guru Jan Fillip Neubert from Airbourne Kite & Surf Centres.

This trip is for small core group of 6 kitesurfers all dedicated to learning new tricks and living a healthy, surfy island lifestyle. Its wind stats offer 15 - 20mph so ideal for those looking to improve their toeside riding, transitions, rotations, raleys and unhooked tricks. If your looking to jump big, board off or darkslide then perhaps our next holiday to Dakhla, Morocco will be more suited to you. Details of this still to come.

After a gentle evening body stretch enjoy a local beer, mojito or pina colada in the setting sun, but be warned these holidays are dedicated to leaving you feeling healthier, happier and fitter then ever before.

To book you will need to contact Jo directly paying a deposit of £400 to secure your place. Final payment will then be due in October 3 months before you travel.

Happy kiting,
