Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the 11.3kt average wind, with smaller sizes for stronger days; a directional board or small wave board works well for flat-water progression and light freestyle.

Clothing · A 3mm wetsuit or lightweight rashguard is sufficient during peak season (Feb-Jun, Sep), with minimal protection needed in warmer months. Sun protection is essential due to intense Mediterranean UV exposure.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local maritime traffic and stay clear of shipping lanes; coordinate with other kiters to avoid crowding in the limited flat-water zone. Be mindful of local customs and obtain any necessary permissions from local authorities.

Additional notes

Best conditions occur Feb-Jun and September when wind consistency peaks at 110 days/year; plan trips accordingly for maximum wind days. Check local weather forecasts and tide schedules before heading out, as flat water can become choppy quickly with stronger winds.
