Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the average 10.3kt winds; smaller boards excel in flat water conditions for progressing tricks and freestyle. Consider a 12m kite for lighter wind days.

Clothing · Minimal wetsuit (1-2mm spring suit) or rash guard suitable for warm tropical waters year-round; UV protection essential due to strong sun exposure. Winter months (Jan-Feb) may warrant slightly thicker suits.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing nets and boats by maintaining clear zones; coordinate with other kiters during peak season when crowds increase. Avoid areas close to populated beach sections.

Additional notes

Best season (Jan, Feb, Nov) offers consistent ENE winds and pleasant temperatures; avoid typhoon season (summer). Check local weather forecasts and tide times before launching, as shallow water dynamics can change quickly.
