Prepare for Sakalava with useful items for time off the water too. Check airline rules and confirm what the school supplies before travelling.
Clothing and sun protection
Pack UV-protective tops, sunglasses with a retention strap, water-resistant sun protection and light changes of clothes. Add a layer for transfers or evenings. Adapt sun protection to your skin and ask a healthcare professional if needed.
Kite gear: bring it or rent?
If travelling with your own gear, check dimensions, weight, fees and advance booking for sports baggage with every airline on your route. The equipment needed for private lessons is supplied by the school. For rental without coaching, ask about sizes and availability for your dates. See our guide to flying with kitesurf gear.
Documents and a final checklist
Check official entry requirements, keep booking confirmations accessible and bring regular medication with any useful prescriptions. Protect your phone and documents from water during transfers. Ask your accommodation about meals, towels and payment methods rather than assuming they are included.
