"Kitesurfing isn’t just our passion—it’s our heartbeat, our way of life. It’s what fuels our dreams, puts food on the table, and reminds us every day why we fight for this life."
Kitesurfing has become an integral part of Zanzibar's culture, thanks to its ideal wind conditions and stunning beaches. What began as a niche sport has evolved into a major attraction, especially in Paje. The consistent winds make it an ideal destination for kitesurfers of all skill levels.
The sport has not only boosted tourism but also created jobs for locals as instructors and technicians, while fostering a strong sense of community and pride. Today, kitesurfing is more than just a sport—it's a cultural cornerstone of the island.

Join our expert instructors for unforgettable kitesurfing downwind at Paje Summer Beach. All levels welcome!
Whether you’re new or experienced, we’ve got the perfect kite, board, and gear for Zanzibar’s epic winds.
The best kiting conditions can be found on Zanzibar’s southeast coast, with Paje being the main kiting hub. A reef located about 1 to 2 kilometers offshore naturally creates super flat water during mid to low tides, making it an ideal spot for beginners to progress quickly in easy conditions, and for experienced riders to practice their tricks in a safe environment.

In a Beginners Kitesurfing Course, students learn everything they need to safely and confidently take their first rides — from understanding the wind to controlling the kite and starting to ride the board. Here's a full breakdown:
In a Kitesurfing Progression Course, students build on their beginner skills to gain confidence, control, and consistency on the board. The focus shifts from learning to ride to riding with control, staying upwind, and starting to explore transitions and light tricks.
In a Kitesurfing Advance Course, the focus is on pushing skills to the next level — mastering control & jumps and crafting your style. Riders learn to refine technique, ride in challenging conditions, and begin performing tricks, jumps, or even shaping your own style.
