Gear & clothing

Gear · Pack 14-17m kites for average 11.9kt winds with ability to downsize during stronger monsoon periods; a directional or twin-tip board works best for choppy ocean conditions.

Clothing · A 2-3mm wetsuit or rashguard is sufficient year-round given tropical waters; UV protection and reef booties are essential due to sharp rocks and strong sun exposure.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing areas and keep clear of boats; share the limited space courteously with other kiters and yield to swimmers in designated areas.

Additional notes

Best wind conditions occur during the northeast monsoon (Dec-Mar); avoid peak tourist season crowds by visiting early morning or shoulder months like April and September when wind remains steady but beaches are quieter.
