Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the consistent 11.3kt average winds; a directional or freestyle board handles choppy water better than a twin-tip in these conditions.

Clothing · A 3-5mm wetsuit is suitable for Mediterranean temperatures; thicker neoprene during winter months (Jan-Feb) and thinner suits during peak season (Mar-May, Sep-Oct).

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local maritime activities and fellow water users; maintain distance from fishing boats and swimmers, and communicate with other kiters in the often-crowded intermediate zone.
