OUR KITE SPOT IN ISLA BLANCA
Our kite spot in Isla Blanca located at the beginning of the “dirty road”, connects the new hotel zone to La Punta and avoids messing up your car and getting stuck in the soft sand!
Conditions are dreamy for freestyle riders as far as you can see, which is about 10 miles, flat water lagoon with knee to waist deep water sandy bottom and very good wind during the season. In winter, when the strong and chilly North Wind kicks in, the water can get a bit choppy. The Norte wind avarage speed is +25 knots with gusts of 30/35 knots. Don’t forget to bring your 9m and 7m kites! North wind is cold but very consistent, a 4/3mm or 5/3mm wetsuit is recommended. When it’s north-easterly, east or from the south, the water gets butter flat. If the wind is Easterly, it is better to go to La Punta, 5 minutes further along the Isla Blanca strip.
KITEBOARDING EXCURSIONS
PDC Kiteboarding organise kitesurf excursions from Playa del Carmen to our spot in Isla Blanca when the wind comes from North (offshore in Playa del Carmen or Tulum) or for kiteboaring clinics.
We pick you up with one of our Vans on our regular basis from Playa del Carmen downtown and take you for a full unforgettable day to the lagoon. There you can either take lessons with one of our kiteboarding instructors or rent the gear and ride all day long. When the day of riding is over we take you back to Playa Del Carmen.
