The flat water lagoon offers ideal launching conditions with consistent N to NE winds and gradual beach entry. Sandy launch zones are generally obstacle-free, making this excellent for beginners building confidence.

Respect the established kite zones separated by schools and local riders; stay clear of swimmers and other water users. Yield to experienced riders in congested areas and follow local beach rules regarding launch/landing zones.

A 3/2mm wetsuit is suitable year-round; water temperatures range from 18-22°C depending on season. Consider a rash guard for sun protection in the intense African sun during summer months.
