05-08-16 Joost K: I was here end of july 2005. My opinion: Only suitable for advanced riders. Beginners should go to an other place. This spot has no knee deep water and lots of rocks. It was very busy on the water, lots of windsurfers and other boats. The beach is definitily not suitable for learning to kite...
05-06-06 Pako: Very good for riding in June when you can start on zlatni rat..in July and Avgust you must start in kite school !Very small place to start! Cost 7 EU a day for start!Wind very good Maestral.
04-07-01 Mijo: no kite surfing 7 and 8 month on the main beach. kite camp with boat support for only few 6-8 dollars a day. visit this site: http://www.zutimacak.hr/kite/main.htm
04-03-16 David Burden: I had an insanely good time riding here in June 2003. I started a downwinder several km's down the coast and had boat support the whole way. It was gorgeous and the people are wonderful! I recommend Croatia to anyone looking for a world class watersports destination.
