CNC Kite & Wing Center - Casa no Campo

CNC Kite & Wing Center is the kitesurf and wing foil school of Casa no Campo, a property of almost 3 hectares in the Costa Vicentina natural reserve, a few kilometres from Porto Covo. Lessons take place on a flat-water spot near Porto Covo that gets the nortada, the afternoon wind of the Portuguese coast, without waves or shore-break, which makes water starts easier to learn.

The school follows students with a support boat and two-way radio helmets: head coach Richard gives live advice. Life vests, rider insurance and helmets are provided (rental does not include wetsuit or equipment insurance). Formats range from a 2 h or 3 h daily course to a 12 h complete course and a 1 h private lesson. A Kite & Wing Camp package combines 5 days of kitesurf lessons (3 h a day) and 7 nights in a dorm with breakfast, a transfer from the Porto Covo bus station and a special rental deal.

Casa no Campo also offers wing foil experiences (4-day course of 2 h) and stand up paddle.

Lessons in the afternoon, when the nortada picks up; times to be confirmed with the school. Prices are shown through the website's booking engine.
