Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring a 17m+ kite to maximize light-wind performance (8.9 kts average is marginal). Twintip or directional boards work well on flat water; consider a larger board for easier water starts in light wind.

Clothing · Pack a 3/2mm wetsuit for spring/fall (Mar, Apr, Oct) and a thicker 4/3mm for winter months (Dec, Feb). Water temperatures in this region are cool year-round.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect any local fishermen and give them wide berth. Keep sessions organized with other riders to avoid collisions in the confined flat-water area.
