Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring a 15-17m kite for light wind days (10.4 kts average) and a directional or twin-tip board suited for flat water progression. Consider a smaller 12m kite for stronger wind days in peak months.

Clothing · Winter months (Jan, Mar) require a 3/2mm wetsuit; summer months (Jul, Apr) need only a 2mm or rash guard due to Mediterranean warmth. Water temperatures range from 12°C in winter to 25°C in summer.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen who use the lagoon and maintain safe distance from their nets and boats. Keep sessions away from designated navigation channels.
