Do not kite or windsurf in the swimmer zones. Kiter should go to the North of the Soma Bay with the free shuttle. Launching and landing a kite is only recommended to experienced kiters close to the nautical station (in front of the Kempinski Hotel). Go further west for cleaner winds. A good rider can kite between the Sheraton and Robinson Club, there is a little gap between the hotels where the wind is pretty steady, but a bit further to the left or right, you will be in the wind shadow or very gusty winds of the hotels.
