Gear & clothing

Gear · Pack 14-17m kites to handle the consistent 9.5kt average winds; consider a 12m as backup for lighter days. A directional board or beginner freestyle board works best in the flat water.

Clothing · A light 2-3mm wetsuit or rash guard is sufficient year-round given the tropical location and warm water temperatures. Bring high SPF sunscreen and consider a hat for protection during long sessions.

Crowd & etiquette
