Gear & clothing

Gear · Carry 14-17m kites to handle average 11.9kt winds and light wind days; a twin-tip board is perfect for the flat water conditions. Consider a smaller backup kite for marginal wind days common in shoulder seasons.

Clothing · A lightweight 3/2mm wetsuit or rash guard is sufficient year-round given tropical water temperatures (26-29°C). Sun protection is critical due to intense equatorial sun exposure.

Crowd & etiquette
