Launch notes

The flat water sandbar provides ideal launch conditions for beginners with consistent onshore-to-sideshore winds. Protected shallow areas allow safe water entry and recovery even in lighter conditions.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to maximize the average 15.9kt winds; consider a 12m for gustier days. A twin-tip or beginner directional board works best on flat water with minimal water movement.

Clothing · A thin 2-3mm spring wetsuit provides adequate warmth year-round given the tropical Caribbean location. Consider UV protection and rash guards as the equatorial sun is intense.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing activities and indigenous communities; stay clear of active nets and traditional watercraft. Keep a safe distance from other water users in the compact flat-water zone.

Additional notes

Los Roques is a national park; obtain proper permits and check local regulations before visiting. Access is primarily by boat or small aircraft, so plan transportation in advance and bring all necessary supplies.
