Gear & clothing

Gear · 13-knot average winds favor 15-17m kites for lighter riders and 12-14m for heavier riders. Use beginner-friendly directional boards or hydrofoil boards to maximize light-wind performance.

Clothing · A 5/4mm or 6/5mm wetsuit is essential year-round due to cold Atlantic temperatures; add booties, gloves, and a hood during winter months (Nov-Mar). Summer sessions (Jun-Aug) may allow 4/3mm suits but cold water still demands protection.

Respect local fishing areas and maritime traffic; stay aware of other water users in this busy coastal region. Keep sessions organized by skill level to avoid congestion.
