Overview

Edit

Works will in SW and NW breeze.
Lots of room to rig and heated bathrooms to change.
Possible water quality concerns and kiters have had issues in the past with Park Rangers

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
