Launch notes

Flat water and calm conditions make this ideal for beginners, but the low average wind speed means you'll need optimal conditions to launch. Check forecasts for wind peaks, as 34 windy days annually is quite limited.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring a larger kite (15-17m) to maximize light wind performance, paired with a freestyle or beginner-friendly board that handles flat water well. A directional board works better than a twin-tip given the flat conditions.

Clothing · A 3/2mm or 4/3mm wetsuit is appropriate for Mediterranean waters, with thicker protection in winter months (Jan-Feb). Spring and fall (Mar-May) offer milder conditions requiring only 2/2mm.

Additional notes
