Hazards

Choppy water conditions create unpredictable wave patterns and increased difficulty for trick executionCold freshwater temperatures, especially outside summer months, increase hypothermia riskRiver/lake currents and potential submerged obstacles typical of inland water bodiesLimited visibility in murky water makes rescue operations more challenging

Launch notes

Launch from the beach into choppy conditions; SE and SW winds are most favorable for this orientation. Watch for inconsistent conditions in inland water requiring careful wind reading before committing.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to handle the modest 8.9kt average wind; consider a directional board suited for choppy water rather than freestyle equipment. Extra power in your quiver is essential given variable wind and water conditions.

Clothing · Wear a 4/3mm or 5/4mm wetsuit year-round due to cold freshwater temperatures; thicker protection in winter months (Jan, Oct) is critical. Spring and summer allow 3/2mm suits.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users on this popular inland spot and maintain clear communication with fellow kiters in the crowd. Follow local beach regulations and any designated kite zones.

Additional notes
