Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 13-17m kites to handle the moderate 11kt average winds; consider larger kites for lighter days. A directional or wave board suits the choppy conditions and intermediate skill requirements.

Clothing · Wear 5/4mm winter wetsuit November-April when water temps drop near freezing; switch to 3/2mm for summer months (May-October). Neoprene hood and gloves essential in winter.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing activities common in Åland waters. Keep distance from recreational boaters and share the bay responsibly with other water users.

Additional notes

Åland is an autonomous region with unique maritime culture; check local regulations and tide schedules before sessions. Winter months (Dec-Jan) offer strong winds but extreme cold; plan accordingly.
