Launch notes

Launch from sandy beach areas when accessible, watching for rocks and reef. SSE and SE winds provide the most consistent launching conditions; W and WSW directions work well when present but are less predictable.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to handle the light average wind of 7.7 kts; larger kites help maximize the limited windy days. A directional or wave board suits the choppy water conditions and allows better control in rough seas.

Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit works year-round given the tropical Pacific location; water temperatures stay warm but sun protection is essential. Booties protect feet from rocky launches and shallow reef hazards.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and their nets; this is an active fishing community. Keep a safe distance from other water users and launch/land away from populated beach areas.

Additional notes

Plan trips around the best months (April-June, September-October) when wind frequency peaks. This is a remote spot with minimal kitesurfing infrastructure, so arrive fully self-sufficient with spare equipment and supplies.
