The wind introduces
A good trip is not just about forecasting. Important is the instructor who explains clearly, the person who helps with the landing, and the company with which you want to return to this shore.
This atlas grew out of the places I've been riding. Practical references are collected from open sources, and on spot pages you can share your impressions. In St. Lucia, I already have my notes on the southern and northern bays.

Before you travel
Three short discussions that will help you choose the direction and ask the school the right questions.
Lagoon or ocean?
Flat water helps you practise, but shallow areas and offshore wind require care. Choose conditions that match your level.
How to choose a kite school
What issues are more important than discounts: instructors, rescue, group and real time with kite.
