Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites to maximize light wind performance given the 7.5kt average. Twintip boards or beginner-friendly directional boards work well on the flat water.

Clothing · Winter months (Jan-Apr, Oct-Dec) require 3-4mm wetsuits; spring and autumn may need 2-3mm. Summer sessions allow thinner protection or rash guards depending on personal preference.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect shipping lanes in this busy strait area and stay aware of other water traffic. Yield to local fishermen and maintain distance from populated beach areas during summer tourism season.
