Kite Van Life Blogs - Our top picks

Van life is certainly not new. But kitesurfing van life has exploded in recent times. A combination of the growing popularity of kitesurfing along with a trend to move away from the cities and closer to nature has caused and explosion in the popularity of camper vans.

For some, the European Spring marks the beginning of a pilgrimage that will take them through a variety of kitespots throughout Europe, often parking up right next to the water. The benefits are clear:

• Low or no accommodation fees
• A secure place on the beach to keep your stuff whilst you kite
• In some cases, a hot shower once you're off the water
• Cooking facilities so you can save on food costs
• The flexibility to move to other kite spots based on the wind and other factors
• Social aspects of being parked close to other kite vans

Of course camper vans come with their own costs, but a growing contingent are seeing kitevanlife as a different and exciting way to experience life.

Here is a selection of some of our favourite kite van life blogs, and don't forget if you are looking to kit out your kite van, we have a great selection of kitesurfing van life goodies:
