What more can you say when everything was perfect!!! Instructors: Outstanding professional kitesurfers with a skill and a passion for teaching. Extreme patience and guidance with a 72 year old beginner. Fluent in multiple languages. Location: Strong, consistent and predictable winds on shallow river as well as ocean with waves. Esposende is charming rustic town with great food. Sports hostel a great value and convenient location. Equipment: New kites and boards. Wetsuits, helmet new and very clean. Rescue boat available but rescue never needed as instructors were vigilant and protective of students. No need to panic. Cannot wait to go back!!!

Great kitesurfing school. I was renting gear and my GF was taking lessons. Professional instructors (with a good focus for their students) and also really friendly. Going to the spot by boat was always a pleasure. Kook proof also seems to attract other nice people. Had some great chats while chilling on the beach. Had a super good time. Thnx!

Obrigado Kooks! It’s an Incredible place to experience kite boarding for the first time. Really great instructors, staff and hostel in an incredible local Portuguese town super close to Porto with great night life, restaurants, history, yoga, mountain biking, surfing, etc! Make a stop at Porto too to maximize the vacation!

I've been 2 weeks on Kook Proof kitesurfing camp. Just booked rider package without lessons. There is also of course an option for beginners kite package. I was one of my best camp experiences. The Kook Proof team is really great. Every instructor/member is very helpful and friendly. And organisation is fine tuned to the last details.. Starting from picking up in Porto airport( I arrived late on Friday and they organized a special transfer for me). Tiago Rocha is one of the best instructors i met..very responsibly and puts a lot of stress on safety . As an intermediate minus rider i have a lot to learn from him and surely will book some of evaluation camp next year.If there is no wind( i was in September so we had 7 days wind ) you can go surfing,sap,mtb trips.. I personally recommend mtb trip..Did it twice and had a lot of fun.. Actually i can not find a single thing that was negative in this camp.. You dont have to worry about anything,like checking wind,logistics,dinner etc..all is done for you. Spot in Essposende is really on of the best i kited.. All in all very positive experience would rate it as 9.99 on 10 scale

If you like to kitesurf this is the place to be! Great help and great fun on a perfect spot; butterfly flat water ;-) or cross the dunes for waves!

Price wise, anything else than 5 stars would be a lie. Great service, before the camp and during. Help with getting to and from Porto airport and more. You can borrow SUP and surfboards each day. A nice mix of beginners and people already kitesurfing. Super happy with my experience!

Kook proof was amazing here´s why; THE SPOT + Esposende offers a great variety in kiting, lots of flat water in the bay and really good wavekiting outside + There is a boat that takes you out every 30 minutes or so + Rescue boat + The current usually helps you upwind meaning it is a lot less work for beginners + We had amazing conditions!!! KOOF PROOF + Very friendly and helpful staff. Although I did not take a course with them noone hesitated to give tips and discuss technique or just general kiting +++ + Everyone in our group that did take a course got up and going in 3 or 4 lessons (no previous experience) GREAT! + Great storing facility, you don´t have to drag your wet and sandy stuff to the hotel + Fantastic restaurant recommendations, great food! + Well organized and communicated through whatsapp group In short a hazzlefree, friendly, great week of kiting fun, will definitely come back!

Stunning spots to learn kitesurf, one with flat water and another with waves. Accomodation is just perfect and the surrounding restaurants and bars have very cheap and delicious options. The staff is very friendly and dedicated. Definitely recommend kookproof if you want to prioritize kitesurfing. If there's no wind, they have tons of options from surfing, yoga, horse-riding, bike riding or even a cultural tour in near by Porto. They have thought of everything!

Great experience! Made with them my kite b Gönner course. Well organised incl perfect rescue coordination of needed. For them safety of students is at first place. Instructors are just amazing and so professional and patient :)) Congrats...enjoyed 100%. Great team and mood!!!

Kook Proof has a great crew that will support your kite sessions in Esposende. I didn't take lessons, but used their boat transfer services and joined the rest of the kiters. Great atmosphere among the travellers and instructors and they provide plenty of activities for the less windy days. Would recommend!

Very good school of kitesurfing, with fantastic staff, always available, making use of new technologies to teach their students.
