This spot is for experts only! The launch is very tricky due to the winds swirling in front of the hotels. There are many obstacles including groins, channel markers and coral heads just below the surface. Don't kite anywhere near the beach because there are lots of swimmers and bathers, after launching head straight out to the surf or open water.
