The outgoing tide here means that you are able boost endlessly without having to worry about working back up wind. The river mouth is the perfect kite park set up. You have flat water that runs out into surf, natural sand sliders and the odd sand bar to try your luck with. The surf brakes both right and left and varies depending on the sand but it is always smashable.
