The winds are gusty, because they come over a mountain. The spot is for expert kiters only. The winds come very quickly and can die also that fast, so pay special attention to fellow windsurfers, if they are getting out it's not because they have enough, but it's likely that the wind is going to die.

The spot is primary for windsurfers, kiters are only guests there, make sure you don't do any crazy stunts over their sails and always leave enough room between them and you.

09-03-21 Unknown: I've been here in 2007. Wind is on & off all the time. My friend was lucky to catch a gust which stayed longer than 5 min. It's a very hazardous place. But it's fun to try once ;) /besttaste
