Hazards

Shallow flat water requires awareness of sandbars and sudden depth changes, especially during low tideSea urchins and coral in shallow areas - wear booties and watch your landing zonesTropical squalls can bring sudden wind shifts; monitor weather conditions closely during transitions

Launch notes

The flat water makes launching straightforward with minimal wave impact. Consistent SE-SW winds provide reliable launching conditions, though morning glass-offs are common—plan sessions for afternoon when thermal winds develop.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to handle the moderate 13kt average winds effectively. A twintip or beginner directional board works well on the flat water for learning and progression.

Clothing · A thin 2mm wetsuit or rash guard provides sun protection in tropical conditions; water temperature stays warm year-round. Minimal thermal protection needed except for extended sessions.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other riders in the beginner-friendly zone and stay aware of lesson groups. Yield to swimmers and local fishing activity, particularly in early mornings.
