Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the light average winds (11.3 kts); consider a directional or hybrid board suited for flat water beginners. Keep a backup kite ready for lighter wind days.

Clothing · A lightweight 3/2mm wetsuit is ideal for the warm Caribbean waters; wear reef booties to protect against shallow sandbars and sea grass. UV protection is essential due to strong tropical sun.

Crowd & etiquette
