Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to maximize light wind sessions given the 11kt average; a twin-tip or hybrid board works well for the flat water conditions. Consider a smaller kite (12m) for stronger Atlantic wind days.

Clothing · A 3-4mm wetsuit is suitable for winter months (January, October) while 2mm or spring suit suffices for March-April. Water temperatures range from 14-18°C, so thermal protection is recommended year-round.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing boats and keep distance from active nets; share the water courteously with other water sports users. Check with local guides about any cultural sensitivities regarding beach usage.
