Kiteboard Gokova

KITEBOARDING AREA DETAILS:

The beach is 3 kilometre long and doesn’t have any rocks, buildings, power lines or any other obstacles which might be dangerous for kiteboarding.

There is a very large area to launch and land your kite on the beach.

Even though there are some swimmers and beach users on some parts of the beach, our training location is far from all of these in a very convenient area.

You can get your regular needs such as food, drink and small shopping from Gokce Village which is nearby our training area.

THE WIND:

The wind in Gokova Bay starts in May when the weather temperature gets warmer and continues its rate until November. There is almost no windless day during this 6 months period of the year.

The wind starts as a calm sea-breeze at around 9 a.m. and increases up to 18-20 knot with the influx of air temperature.

There are hardly any gusty winds in Gokova Bay which is another reason why this area is such a splendid place for beginners and those who want to improve their kiteboarding practice.

The increase of the wind rate throughout the day allows for different levels to practice at different times.

THE SEA:

The sea is shallow for 150 meter and the bottom is purely sand. For the first 50 meter the water is completely free of waves and calm. Small waves occur after 50 meter depending on the wind’s power.

The water temperature is suitable enough to do kiteboarding without wearing a wetsuit. There are 7 rivers feeding Gokova Bay so the salt level is quite low on the shore.These rivers also play the role of cleaning the sea.
