Gustykite Kitesurfing School
About Gustykite Kitesurfing School
GUSTYKITE was born in 2003 at Guincho, the world known, windy beach in Cascais, West of Lisbon. Few schools exist at the time, allowing us to rapidly become the most recognized company in Portugal, with hundreds of students per year.
Adapting to the new upcoming technologies and more demanding customers, we renewed our brand image and processes in 2007 and kept growing our network.
At this point we wanted to share our experience with more people, so we offered franchising of our work model, and 5 portuguese stations were formed untill 2008 – Guincho, Aveiro, Fonte da Telha, Ria de Alvor and Altura.
The model prooved right and in 2010 it was fine-tuned to go International, with 1 station in Goa, and the first kitesurf school ever in Angola.
Things were rolling and in 2017 more people got involved in management to keep the company up to date and efficient. A brand new website is built and our Courses got small tweaks to improve customer appreciation and focus on Custom made, Quality classes.
Our experience since 2003made us go towards more personalised teaching with Private and Semi Private lessons, and focus on a single station to offer the best, safest and highest quality lessons.
From our main spot in Fonte da Telha, we can reach several amazing spots with different conditions within 30 minutes travel, so we can drive you to the best location depending on each clients demands.
For 2019, a brand new, adaptive website, a professional ads and social media campaign, and a new beach infrastructure, increasing even more our customers conditions, confort and safety.
2020 is without doubt the strangest year we’ve ever lived, but our business and life ideals of smaller, concentrated infrastructure, with lower resources and fixed costs, allowed us to stay up on the horse and keep doing happy safe kitesurfers. We are fully operating so book your kitesurf course and join us at the beach!
Hope to see you riding the wind soon!

β β β β β Pedro and his team own probably the best location in Caparica and provide excellent teaching in a relaxed, friendly way where everybody is made at ease and welcome. I strongly recommend GustyKite.

β β β β β That was great fun, with a very professional guidance. We felt safe in the hands of Pedro, the gear was solid and the classes tough but fun. Steep learning curve, even at my age (don't ask). What was especially pleasant was the fast and accurate communication.

β β β β β I went to Portugal on a kiting safari. A friend came along who had no previous kiting experience. First she took a group lesson with another company, we saw one of the students launched down the beach. Undeterred she had her first private lesson with Gusty Kite. She felt so safe and taken care of, after the first lesson she was flying the kite on beach and by the second body dragging up wind. The have a great technique that progressively teaches the new student in a very safe way.
My friend is now hooked on kiting of course !
I have been kiting for 7 years or more, decided to have a lesson myself, an instructor sailed with me and corrected me attempting rotations etc.
my kiting has moved to a whole new level. Thanks so much to Pedro and this team !!! John from Sydney AUS

β β β β β Pedro was quick to try and find time for me on really short notice, he kept me informed of conditions and was careful to make sure conditions were good for my lesson. I was given some really solid advice for someone just starting to get up and riding. Pedro really made sure we could get the most out of the 2 hour session and I would highly recommend Gusty Kite to anyone looking to get up and riding.

β β β β β We were there to learn kitesurfing. I have spent two hours on the super tiny kite with the trainer giving me very little explanation and attention in (what was supposed to be) a semi-private lesson. I had almost no explanation of equipment and wind terminology.
Even though I do understand that weather conditions in Guincho can change fast, the communication and planning with the school for kiting was very hard, so that we lost at least one afternoon, because the day before the school said we could come but upon arrival, we were told conditions were not good for kiting at all (advise: contact ppl in advance so they donβt make all the way out to Guincho for nothing). Kite equipment of the school seems not to be very well maintained nor updated. On top of that, you are not asked to wear a helmet even with a bigger kite, which is a must at other kite surf schools!
I have changed to another Kitesurf school and am very happy with this one, itβs vibe and itβs instructor(s).
