Launch notes

The flat water and sandy beach make launching easy for beginners. Westerly and southwesterly winds are most consistent; check tide charts as shallow water means limited depth in certain areas.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to handle the moderate 11.6kt average winds; consider a larger kite for lighter days. A directional board or beginner-friendly twin-tip works well in the flat water conditions.

Clothing · A 5/4mm winter wetsuit is essential during colder months (Oct-Apr); switch to 3/2mm for summer sessions. Gloves and booties are highly recommended year-round due to cold Nordic water.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users and swimmers in designated areas. Stay aware of local beach rules and share the water responsibly with other kiters during windy sessions.
