Launch notes

Flat water provides ideal conditions for beginners to practice tricks and transitions. Sandy or muddy beach launch is straightforward, though you'll want to scout the exact launch point for soft spots and ensure good wind alignment with prevailing northerly directions.

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.

Additional notes

This is a niche spot with limited infrastructure; travel with experienced flat-water riders and check wind forecasts carefully before committing. The 56.5 windy days/year means you'll need flexibility with your schedule to catch rideable conditions.
