06-10-20 besttaste: One day, 14.10.06, perfectly powered with an 11,5 kite. Other kiters were using from 8 till 12. Execellent spot, friendly people and good wind though less than Mangroovy because of buildings. Max. 15 kiters at once. Small kite station and very cosy. For beginners and advanced riders. Price: 6 Euros a day.
06-05-14 tom: good learning area and very good and nice kitesurf teachers at the station, ideal place for learners as mostly side shore winds and a wide shallow area before a small reef
05-07-26 katana: went in july and had limited riding times due to tides (reef makes it too shallow to be able to get out until 1 hour before high water)
