Conditions
November till June is the best season for kiting. These months the average of knots is around 16-22. It is the perfect spot to learn, improve and play because you have plenty of space on the large flat water lagoon.
The launch area is not very large, but the great space you will have on the water makes up for that. If your upwind skills are sufficient, you can kite to the Buccoo reef breaks for some more action where you can surf in the waves. This depends on the wind direction, which is usually cross shore from the right.
For beginners, lessons start in the ‘Nyloon pool’. You will go there with an instructor and a boat. The water is very shallow so you can easily stand there. It is not a busy spot so you can master all skills quickly and safely within all the space you need.
If you need help, there are always boats that will pick you up for a fee. Or you can ask them for an upwind drop off. The spot is not very crowded so in addition to professional supervision, there is also a lot of mutually social control.
If you like to go on the water with your own gear, there is the option to rent storage. The advantage of this is that you can rinse everything at the spot and get to and from the spot by bike or by foot. And in terms of accommodation, you don't have to take your belongings into account.
The school has gear available from the brand Cabrinha for rental and lessons. They require a certificate for rental and all lessons are given by IKO certified instructors.
