Launch notes

The flat water bay setting provides ideal beginner launch conditions with minimal swell. Launch from sandy/shale beaches using westerly and northwesterly winds for consistent offshore flow.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Pack 15-17m kites for the average 13.3kt winds; smaller 12-14m kites work well for stronger winter days. Flat-water boards or small twin-tips are ideal given the calm bay conditions.

Clothing · A 5/4mm wetsuit is essential year-round due to cold Maritime water (never exceeding 18°C). Winter months require 6/5mm suits and booties; summer allows thinner 4/3mm options.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect the small local community by staying in designated launch areas and being courteous to fishermen who frequent these traditional waters. Share the bay responsibly with other water users.

Additional notes
