Launch notes

Flat water conditions make this ideal for beginners. Launch from sandy beach areas when winds are ENE or SW; avoid launch during E/W winds that create cross-shore chop.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the light average winds (8.6 kts); consider a 12m for stronger days. Twin-tips or boards with good flotation work well for flat water progression.

Clothing · Wear a 3/2mm wetsuit in winter months (Feb, Mar) and 2mm in summer (Jul, Aug); spring/fall require 3mm protection due to cool Black Sea temperatures.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect shipping lanes and stay clear of commercial vessels operating in the bay. Share the flat water zones with other water sports enthusiasts and maintain safe distances from swimmers.
