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.

Nananu-i-Ra is a tiny (3.5 sq km), privately-owned island off Viti Levu's north Suncoast, reachable only by a long taxi ride plus a short boat crossing - it's Fiji's dedicated wind-sports hub, built around one lodge community rather than a town.

Porto Botte and Punta Trettu sit in Sardinia's southwest Sulcis-Iglesiente area, a former mining region rather than a beach-resort one - the nearby towns (San Giovanni Suergiu, Carbonia) are modest working towns, so this is a base chosen for one of Europe's best beginner-friendly flat-water kite clusters, not for a holiday-town scene.

Bonaire is a laid-back, expensive-ish Dutch Caribbean island built around shore diving, not partying - and the crucial thing almost no older kite writeup tells you is that you can no longer actually kite at Lac Bay/Sorobon itself: STINAPA (the marine park authority) has banned kitesurfing inside the Lac Bay lagoon on ecological/safety grounds, so kiters now launch from Atlantis Beach (Kite Beach) on the opposite, southwest side of the island while Lac Bay/Sorobon is windsurf- and wingfoil-only.

Lake Annecy is a mountain-lake trip first and a kite trip second: the setting is a turquoise lake ringed by peaks with a genuine alpine-sports culture (paragliding above all), and the two kite spots — Doussard at the south end, Albigny in Annecy-le-Vieux — are opportunistic sessions squeezed between swimmers, sailors and paddlers rather than a dedicated kite destination.

Samos is a green, mountainous, wine-producing island close to the Turkish coast with two marginal kite spots on opposite sides — Kedros near Kokkari in the north and Mykali near Psili Ammos in the south — neither of which is a built-out kite destination, so this suits independent, experienced travelers happy to self-organize rather than riders expecting a kite scene or beginner-friendly water.
