Extra Information
Rules:
Restricted Zones


You must take the spot most on the east side to kitesurf, this is to keep the windsurfers and kitesurfers out of each other. Also there's a small bay at the spot, it isn't allowed to kitesurf here so don't do it. I think kitesurfing isn't officially allowed anyway, so if something happens the spot is history for kiters.
