VENTANA KITESURFING HOLIDAYS

Nestled on the edge of the crystal clear Sea of Cortez, La Ventana is serviced by a northerly wind that blows consistently from November through April, peaking in January and February, making it an ideal winter bolthole.La Ventana has an authentic Mexican feel and it’s very popular with ex-pats, particularly American / Canadian kiters and windsurfers, who’ve migrated south to warmer climes in the winter.

Grab your foil and explore the crystal blue waters of the bay or go on a downwinder from one of four main launch spots. There are numerous launching areas, including the hot springs to the north, Rosta Beach, the campground and south beach near the hotels. January and February can kick up a little swell, and though this isn’t really a wave spot, it is a lot of fun. There’s a serious amount of freeriding and freestyle terrain though and all that open water makes La Ventana an ideal foiling destination on the lighter wind days.
