Be careful launching and landing kites. The current can be very strong. Make sure to have the marine station watch you, in the case you cannot make it back. Know where the reefs are and don't step on them, there are seas urchins. You can have a boat shuttle you to Pointe d'Esny for less current and more space, and you do a downwinder back to the hotel.
