The Destination

Inhaca Island — Why This Is the World's Best-Kept Kite Secret

Inhaca Island represents the ultimate frontier for kitesurfing Mozambique. Far from the mass tourism of more developed hubs, this sanctuary offers a rare combination of raw natural beauty and world-class conditions.

Our kite safari Africa experience is built around the island's unique geography. Pristine coral reefs protect vast lagoons of waist-deep flat water, while the outer reefs offer perfectly formed waves for those seeking an extra challenge.

The consistent Indian Ocean trade winds provide a reliable engine for daily sessions, ensuring that every moment of your expedition is spent either on the water or immersed in the tranquil rhythms of island life.

Partner Expedition

In Partnership with bynd.xp — Josh Emanuel

This trip is organized by bynd.xp, founded by the legend Josh Emanuel. Local Secrets XP and bynd.xp share more than a passion for kiting — they share a philosophy. Both brands are built on the belief that the most meaningful experiences happen far from the tourist trail, where nature is raw, the wind is real, and the people around you are equally obsessed.

bynd.xp was built around a South African pro kitesurfer whose name carries serious weight in the kite world. Josh is the winner of the 2017 Red Bull Megaloop Challenge and once held the top spot on the Woo All-Time Leaderboard with a 36.2-metre jump — a record that placed him among the sport's big air legends. His riding spans big air, waves, and technical freestyle, and that same relentless pursuit of progression is what he channels into building bynd.xp's experiences.

"For Local Secrets XP, partnering with a team led by someone who has lived the sport at its highest level — and now dedicates himself to sharing it — is exactly the kind of alignment we look for."
