Cocos Island is an incredible place to kiteboard, but only if you are able to consistently stay upwind. There are a lot of other water sports going on in the area as well which you need to watch out for. Beautiful water with flat and choppy water and shallow areas. Shoes are recommended due to the reef. Tidal beach.
