It’s 8 o´clock, I am checking the tide chart. The KiteWorldWide school in Jambiani, Zanzibar opens a bit earlier than usual today in order to get more time on the water. The wind is picking up nicely around 16 knots. Abdallah has been here a good hour playing on the beach. We are only three riders this morning. Its time…
This is a blog post written by Guillaume, our kite instructor in the KiteWorldWide Kite Center Zanzibar / Jambiani: It’s been almost two months I left Jambiani village, Zanzibar.

Nils is just awesome. Not only can he kite, he can also cut. He cuts videos. During our trip joint-trip to Tarifa and Essaouira / Moroccoo we just switched the camera on whenever we thought we should and this is what Nils made out of it. Sweet! Share on Facebook

In the first 2 weeks real strong Levante (West-Wind) was blowing over the road of Gibraltar. So of course i went out at my favorite Spot. Balnareo. We…
We had been thinking about it for a while and dragging our feet as to whether that even makes sense for us to support a kite surfer.

I am Guillaume 26 years old from Bordeaux, France. I travel and live abroad for the last 5 years, teaching surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing. I have decided to come to Jambiani for several reasons: share a unique pace of life in Jambiani village, meet the locals and work with them, take part in the birth of a new beautiful kite…
Last weekend in Tatajuba, Brazil When comparing Jericoacoara and Tatajuba in relation to the party level, the first one definitely wins throughout the year, but once a year also the small and usually quiet paradise north of Jeri turns into a crowded place full of celebrating people. By the time Tatajuba proclaims its annual regatta everybody who is able to…
