Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the consistent 9+ knot average winds; a twin-tip or beginner-friendly directional board works well on flat water. Consider a lighter kite (12-14m) for stronger wind days common in peak season.

Clothing · A light rash guard or UV shirt is sufficient given year-round warm tropical temperatures; minimal or no wetsuit needed except for extended sessions. High SPF sunscreen and a hat are essential for sun protection.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and small boat operators in the area; maintain distance from other kiters and communicate clearly when sharing water. Keep sessions organized to avoid crowding popular launch zones.
