Overview   Local Conditions   Wind Sports Map   Safety

In the waters at the extremities of the archipelago, you must be aware of the dangers resulting from winds and currents and the fact that you might be pulled out to sea if you have equipment problems. Be very vigilant.

Safe riding guidelines


  • Consider wearing a Personal Floatation Device (PFD vest) and a helmet.
  • Always take a buddy along.
  • Be particularly careful when kites are lifting off and landing.
  • Always be courteous and respectful of other people on the beach.
  • Do not take over the access area, leave enough room for others to pass easily.
  • Roll your lines and secure your power kite to the ground.


Advice for spectators


  • Always watch from behind the people using power kites.
  • Never cross areas where kites are being set up or taken down, never cross the launching area.
  • Never grab lines or control bar to try to help a rider who has lost control of his kite.
  • If you want to learn these sports, do not try to do it alone, go to a recommended school.
