The kitesurfing on a beautiful beach near Manta called Santa Marianita (Playa Bonita) is world-class, and the surrounding areas also have great surf. Manta Kitesurf is a great school based right on the wide, almost deserted beach. They offer surf and kitesurf courses and lessons for any level, equipment rental, surf tours and sell equipment too. There is one hostel/restaurant here, which is of a high standard, and right next to the kiteschool. A great spot!
