Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring kites in the 14-17m range for the average 10.8kt winds; lighter winds may require 17m+ sizes. Flat-water boards or directional boards are ideal for maximizing the calm conditions and beginner-friendly progression.

Clothing · Wear a 4/3mm or 5/4mm wetsuit year-round due to cold North Sea water temperatures; consider thicker protection or boots in winter months (Dec-Feb). Spring/fall (Sep-Oct, Apr-May) allows slightly thinner suits.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect swimmers and beach-goers, especially during summer season. Maintain awareness of other kiters and establish clear wind window boundaries to avoid collisions in this popular flat-water area.
