الأخطار والسلامة
- Spot very safe and suitable for beginners.
- Sandy bottom, no rocky areas or corals.
- Bring water and sunscreen: dry heat and little shade on the beach.
- Few rescues, but the beach is long and accessible by 4x4.
- Be cautious of strong wind in the afternoon for novices: it's better to ride in the morning.

Mayapo
Mayapo is undoubtedly the most idyllic spot on the Colombian Caribbean coast. Located about twenty kilometers north of Riohacha, this small wayuu village borders a vast turquoise bay where the wind blows almost all year round. The golden dunes and crystal-clear waters create a breathtaking backdrop, worthy of the Caribbean lagoons. It is a place where simplicity reigns: palm huts, smiling fishermen, and a relaxed atmosphere. The spot is perfect for all levels – from beginners discovering kitesurfing to experienced riders training in flat water in a peaceful and wild environment.
