This was such an amazing experience; from the get-go, we immediately felt welcomed by Anita, our host, and the other world packers. The work was dictated by the wind, so there were some days we would spend reading our books in the sun and chatting to locals, and others where the beach could be very active. The entire community was exceptionally kind, the Instructors and bar staff were lovely and would always have a laugh with you, lend a hand or give you a tip on your kiting. I would very much recommend this experience to everyone.

This was an amazing experience I will never forget. You become part of a team that quickly begins to feel like a family. Anita, our host, always looked out for us. She and many of the instructors were big contributors to what made my experience so special. They always included us in activities outside of work and made us feel like part of the community. As for the work, it was easy to get the hang of with practice. My only wish was that I could have had a few more kitesurfing lessons. Otherwise, everything was perfect. Also, the accommodation was nice with great views! :)

I loved this experience. If you're interested in water sports or just looking for a fun volunteering job, I could not recommend the kite school enough. You can pick up the work very quickly, if you're eager to learn, and meet some of the best people while working! Anita was our host and she was brilliant, always keeping in touch, helping and teaching on the job and gave us excellent flexibility with working hours and days off. All of the team were amazing, looking out for us, teaching kite and welcoming us into their community. If you want to learn the kite, work hard then get on the water! :)

The work can be physically and socially demanding; therefore, it is best suited for someone athletic, motivated to learn kiting, and sociable to positively support clients. Shifts were always coordinated flexibly and respectfully with the other beach assistants and the manager. All the instructors were willing to teach as their availability and the wind conditions allowed. Kicking back with everyone in the slower times was nothing but good vibes, laughs, and memories I'll treasure forever :) It was truly a local, family business feel. My only complaint was that I should've stayed longer.

Words cannot describe the amazing experience I had. If you want to meet amazing people, see beautiful places, learn about others and yourself, develop new skills, and have a lot of fun… GO FOR IT! But I have to warn you, leaving will be very, very hard. You'll work 4 hours a day, and you'll be able to choose your shift with the other volunteers, which makes it easy to plan your lessons and free time around. In addition, the apartment is very nice. Ci vediamo presto Le Vie del Vento 🫢🏾
