Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 13-17m kites to handle average 9+ knot winds and variable gusts; a freestyle or wave board (around 139L) suits the choppy, wavy conditions. Consider larger kite range given variable seasonal wind patterns.

Clothing · A 2-3mm wetsuit is adequate year-round given Peru's tropical latitude; water temps stay warm (22-26°C). UV protection and rash guards essential due to intense equatorial sun exposure.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and their nets; coordinate launch times to avoid interference with traditional fishing activities. Keep distance from other water users in this remote, less-crowded spot.
