This site provides all the information you might need about kitesurfing in South Devon and contains a forum for all the members who will happily answer any questions you may have.

Although we cover the whole of the South Devon area, invariably we are found at a few select beaches, depending on how the wind is blowing. Our spiritual home is Bantham, which together with Bigbury, works well in the prevailing winds that come from the West and South-West. When the wind swings from the East, we'll be at Paignton or Slapton, and if it comes from the North, well things get a little trickier, and we either head to North Devon or North Cornwall, although sometimes Exmouth will work as well. Note that the Exmouth Kitesurfers have their own club and own website.

To join the SDKC online forum here is free, just click on the link above and register - you must supply a valid email address to obtain a confirmation email. We won't spam you. You can then join in on topics, exchange messages with any member, ask questions of any of the members and find friends!

To join the SDKC proper, you must become a member of the BKSA and select us as your club. This costs around £35. Just join up via the BKSA site and select us as your local club. Easy!

To kite responsibly on our beaches you must carry third party insurance. If you are a member of the BKSA, then you have this already. Otherwise you must get some sorted out. If you hurt someone, it may cost you!

To ensure your safety and that of others, don't forget to get excellent instruction. Follow any local guidelines by reading the safety information and location guides listed in the menu options above.
