Every kite destination on Earth
812 places across 1505 spots in 104 countries — wind season, water, level and schools, every value sourced and dated.
That 812 is every place the atlas holds. 432 of them have a destination page of their own; the other 380 are held as a single spot and open on a spot page. They lie in 104 countries, 81 of which have a country guide written so far.

Emerald Sea (the lagoon behind the Babaomby Peninsula / Cap d'Ambre, Madagascar's northern tip) is not a town you visit, it's a lodge you're delivered to: fly into Diego Suarez, drive to Ramena, then take a roughly 45-minute boat to a small eco-lodge on the lagoon shore.
