Access
|
No walk |
Get to Curacao. Accessible only per boat. Not all boats accept kitesurfers. No accommodation, only day trips possible. When the waves are big, transfer boats might not go to the island. The local kiters at times organize a kitetrip to the island sometimes sleepovers with beautiful milky ways and falling skies.
Rules |
Zones, Other |
Offshore spot so no beginner spot. Limited safety because of no official rescue boats, so before going to klein it might be handy to check with the board you are going about safety and their experience in rescues. Please do not kite between the swimmers or play near boats.
