Launch notes
The flat water conditions make this ideal for beginners, with sandy launch areas best approached during consistent NE and SSW winds. Check tidal conditions before launching as shallow flats can vary significantly.
Gear & clothing
Gear · 15-17m kites are ideal for the average 15.6kt winds; consider a 12m for stronger SSW conditions. A twintip board or hybrid is recommended for the flat-water, beginner-friendly conditions.
Clothing · A light 2-3mm wetsuit or rash guard is suitable year-round given tropical waters averaging 28-30°C. Sun protection is essential due to intense equatorial sun exposure.
Crowd & etiquette
Respect local fishing activities and maritime traffic; launch away from active fishing zones and maintain distance from boats. The area sees few kitesurfers, so minimal crowd management needed.
Additional notes
Vayu Resort is specifically designed for water sports; coordinate with them for spot conditions and tidal information. The 268 windy days annually make this highly reliable, with consistent conditions across most months.
