Kitesurfing
Suitability:
Wave riders and Free riders will enjoy the spot! Its possible to launch your kite directly on the beach in front of the centre. At low tide the sea recedes about 150 m. The curved shape of the bay makes kitesurfing quite safe there. If you get dragged out to far, our rescue boat will be there immediately to assist you.
In the summer month the lessons will take place in the mornings when the wind is less strong. The spot is very good for kitesurfing all year round. The windiest time is between April and September. In the summer months, the thermal action accelerates the trade winds till force 7; this creates demanding conditions for kitesurfers.
