The spectacular Leupung beach was the spot where I took my kitesurfing lessons and often I was distracted by the beauty of this place.  The beach is very wide and long (plenty of space for your gear but also great for walks) and surrounded by the mountains and the jungle.  Leupung is located 5 km south of Aceh-kitecamp, and it is actually great fun to pack your gear and go there by a motorbike. Regis (IKO certified instructor) uses a corner of this beach for the beginners like me because of its shallow and quiet waters. More experienced riders had a blast there as you can see on these photographs. There are many more spots, also closer to the camp, and all of them are stunning, be sure there will be no crowds, and you will have a place to yourself. The wind blows continuously from May to the end of September, facing South/ South-West, the strength of the wind can vary from 12 to 25 knots. Here is the video that Regis&Alice posted recently with highlights of this season, have a look how much fun there was.
