Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the average 11.3kt wind, with larger sizes essential for lighter wind days. Twin-tip or beginner-friendly boards work well on flat water; consider a freestyle board for progression.

Clothing · Wear a 4/3mm or 5/4mm wetsuit year-round; thicker protection (6mm) is recommended during winter months (Nov-Mar) when water temperatures drop significantly. Add booties and gloves in colder seasons.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users and maintain safe distances from swimmers. Follow standard right-of-way rules with starboard tack having priority.

Additional notes

Plan visits during peak wind months (Oct-Apr) for better conditions; June offers lighter winds but milder water. Check local weather forecasts closely as 132 windy days/year means many sessions are viable but wind speeds vary considerably.
