There couldn't be a better way to discover Peru while at the same time enjoying a fun and effective learning experience that will have a lasting effect on your kitesurfing skills and pleasure to come.

Kitesurf wave conditions and spots
Peru hosts some of the longest kiteable lefts on this planet. There are a big number of wave spots around and up to a one-hour-drive south of Mancora. Choosing the right spot is crucial and depends also of the amount and direction of swell. On top some spots work only or better with northerly swells, some better with southerly swells. Choosing the right spot is a complex task - a wise thing to outsource..!
The winds up north around Mancora are the strongest for riding waves, whereas more south the wind becomes a bit lighter. Pacasmayo in general has bigger and longer waves that remain fairly easy to ride, but with lighter winds. Also there's way more crowds - so it's great to first practice at empty spots up north and then come and apply it all in Pacasmayo.
Accommodation
El Faro Adventure Resort
In Pacasmayo we'll stay at the hotel situated right in the bay and furthest out from town. It's a great base as you can start your kiting sessions straight from the hotel without having to go anywhere else. The rooms are simple but clean and it's well worth staying there. The sunset drinks after a great session while overlooking the last waves of the day rolling in are classic.

Pro Wave Clinic
REQUIRED LEVEL OF KITING: You need to be fairly comfortable riding a surfboard, some first experiences with waves is good to have.
We will try to ride at spots that offer the best conditions and require you to be able to go out and get into the waves with enough skills mastering riding your surfboard in the surf (no matter whether strapped or strapless).
The main subject is to work on your wave riding skills, understand and get to apply the different aspects of it, learn to put it all back together and adapt your riding to different conditions and locations.

Please note that the wave clinic will only take place once a minimum of 5 participants are committed to it. The deadline to reach that is: 24 JANUARY 2019

Group size:
from 5 up to a maximum of 8 participants
Language:
The clinic will be held in English, however Marc is also fluent in German,
French and Spanish and can make sure everybody understands the content of the clinic.
Videocoaching:
You will be filmed on eight days, which is then put together for daily

Weather conditions:
Please note that we have done everything in order to maximise the chances
to catch the best conditions for you. However we are not in control of the weather and there will be no refunds due to lack of wind.
No wind scenario:
Peru is known for its great wind consistency and by choosing to go
there in May we added plenty of extra time for the wind season to get in full swing. In case of no wind the clinic will still take place as planned. The theoretical part of it proves to be very
valuable information that will still be of interest to you even without the opportunity to practice this on the very same day. Northern Peru is besides the wave kiting more so an extraordinary
and world renown place for surfing. In the unlikely case of total lack of wind Marc will take you surf or SUP to improve or get you going with that - the best sport to help boost your kite wave
riding.

Everybody is responsible for buying his own plane ticket. I recommend starting by checking on www.skyscanner.com for the best and cheapest connections from your point of departure.
Don't forget to make sure checking the excess baggage allowances for the airlines you consider booking.
