Amenities

  • Kenderli resort facilities in season

Needs local verification: Compiled in October 2026 from the Riders of the Storm school's Aktau camp page, Kiteforum and Kite Jungle spot cards, Spotkitesurf, the Astana Times report on Kapchagay and Citypass Kazakhstan's kitesurfing overview. Kazakhstan has no resident kite school listed by the international guides — the Aktau lessons are seasonal camps (May–September). Pins are approximate and wind windows outside Soldatka are my reading of the shoreline; check on site. The many steppe spots around Astana are snow- and landkite fields and are not listed here.
