Kite Spot: Soma Bay
Spot description
The spot offers a flat water lagoon, a bright blue deeper area and a reef.
The lagoon is used for lessons and serves as the path to the open water during high tide. Depending on the tide possible to stand in ankle- to knee-high water.
The deeper area has flat water and further upwind also some small waves. This surrounding is the safest to do some jumps without needing to worry what’s below.
The reef is really beautiful and you can see some turtles if you’re lucky. During high tide the area can be crossed without worrying to much. For the low tide sessions, red and green flags highlight the deepest and therefore safest path to cross it.
