Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for light average winds (11.1 kts); larger kites maximize marginal conditions. A twin-tip or directional board works well in the flat water.

Clothing · A 2-3mm wetsuit is suitable for tropical waters; consider a rash guard for sun protection and cultural sensitivity. Booties recommended for sharp shells and sandbars.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and their nets, particularly early morning and evening. Check with local operators about designated riding zones to avoid populated swimming areas.
