Launch notes
The flat water and sandy beach provide ideal launching conditions for beginners. With consistent ENE to E winds, expect reliable conditions year-round with easiest launches during morning sessions before thermal effects intensify.
Gear & clothing
Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the consistent 15.8kt average winds; smaller boards (around 139L) work well in flat water conditions. Beginners should have both a larger kite for light days and a smaller option as skills develop.
Clothing · A 2mm or thin wetsuit is suitable given the warm Caribbean location; rashguards offer sun protection year-round. Most sessions require minimal thermal protection except during cooler December-January months.
Crowd & etiquette
Respect other water users and local swimmers by staying in designated kite zones. Give right-of-way to other kiters and maintain safe distances, especially in the beginner-friendly shallow areas.
Additional notes
Visit during the peak season (December-May) for the most reliable winds and best beginner conditions. Check with local guides about seasonal variations and any marine life considerations specific to the area.
