    Destination:

    Our destination of choice is the enchanting country of Kenya, where we embark on a thrilling adventure known as a 'surfari.' This unique journey combines the exhilaration of kite downwinders with the allure of a road trip along the captivating east coast of Kenya, spanning from the north to the south. Our accommodations range from cozy beachfront villas to coastal hotels, carefully selected to strike the perfect balance between daily conference sessions and ample leisure time for kite surfing. We work with local partners, ensuring that we unearth the hidden gems of this coastal paradise. Together, we delve into the rich culture and stunning landscapes of Kenya, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
