Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites to maximize light wind potential given the 6.4 kt average; bring a directional or twin-tip board suited for choppy water. A larger quiver is essential due to variable wind consistency throughout the year.

Clothing · Wear a 3/2mm wetsuit year-round as water temperatures remain warm (24-28°C). Consider a rash guard for sun protection and chafe prevention in choppy conditions.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and swimmers, particularly during peak tourist season. Maintain clear communication with other kiters and follow standard right-of-way rules when wind directions overlap.
