Kite

Beginner – Intermediate – Advanced

The kite conditions here are the best a kiter can imagine. There’s a consistent side-offshore thermal wind year-round, starting around noon with speeds between 18-25 knots, and a wave that is completely sheltered. The wave is predictable, and riders can easily go upwind. We provide assistance with setting up and taking down equipment, as well as support in case riders encounter any issues. The large sandy bay ensures that conditions are not dangerous.

RECOMENDATIONS

Generally, 8-9m kites are commonly used; however, it’s advisable to bring a larger and a smaller kite to be well-covered. The wind in the bay can be a bit gusty, but once you’re outside, it’s strong and steady. Typically, a shorty or a 3/2 full wetsuit is used

KITE SPOTS

Within the Illescas National Park, there are several spots with good waves. In Punta Luna, we have two of the best waves, accessible on foot. If you have your own vehicle and an adventurous spirit, there is the possibility of going on excursions in search of other waves

THE PLAYGROUND
SWELLS
SMALL SWELL 0.5-1 MT

With small waves, different sections are generated that are ideal for learning or improving maneuvers. It’s better to use a larger board during these conditions

The wave is slow and friendly

MEDIUM SWELL 1.5- 2 MT

Depending on the tide, the wave can be faster or slower. The sections start to connect, allowing for longer and faster rides

The selection of waves is important as some can be very fast. You can catch the wave at different sections, all of which are very fun

LARGE SWELL 2.5- 4 MT

With big swells, the conditions are incredible but challenging. With the help of the kite, even with not much experience, you can ride the best waves of your life.

The waves stay organized and provide time to enter and exit comfortably.
