Plenty of activities
In the Algarve, there is never a shortage of surfing opportunities. However, if you are eager to explore other water sports, they have got you covered. They offer a wide range of exciting water activities, from kiteboarding, windsurfing, and paddleboarding.
Location

The Nortada wind from the north is accelerated by the Serra de Monchique before reaching the water of the lagoon. This warm and strong wind allows you to learn new maneuvers quickly and allows for consistent improvement of your windsurfing skills.
Being located in a quiet area of Lagos above the famous Meia Praia Beach, this location is pretty well-known as the party capital of the Algarve. The young and crazy scenes come from all over the world where Aussies, Kiwis, Canadians, and Europeans have a party until dawn.

Mountain biking tours start in front of the Kite House for trips from Lagos to Luz or Burgau. For a longer trip, you will have a drive to the West Coast to enjoy a scenic ride while discovering the secret beaches and a stunning sunset. For adrenaline junkies, you are also offered the tours to the highlands of the Monchique mountains. From the peak of the Foia, you will have an amazing view over Portimao, the Ria do Alvor, Lagos, and even the west coast as a whole.
Yoga and Pilates
Yoga and Pilates are great ways to keep your body, mind, and soul sharp until the next time you get in the water. Many professional water women and men like Kelly Slater (nine times surf champion), Kristine Boese, (nine times kiteboarding champion), and Larid Hamilton (a big wave surf legend) have found yoga and Pilates to be one of the key preparation tools for their watersport careers.
By practicing yoga and Pilates, you can improve core strength, flexibility, agility, balance, lung capacity, concentration, and calmness in challenging wave situations. Yoga and Pilates also help to prevent your body from getting hurt and it shortens the recovering time between the sessions.
