The Ikarus Kite Spot benefits from a constant wind stronger than elsewhere in Mexico, often between 20 and 30 knots when it blows. The wind direction is variable: off-shore, side-off, on-shore, and side-on, making the spot usable in almost all directions, from N to S. The water surface is a large flat and shallow lagoon, perfect for all tides without notable changes.
Launching is done directly from the sandy beach, with a wide and obstacle-free take-off area. The navigation area is safe in the lagoon, ideal for freeride, strapless, and tricks, with enough space for both beginners and advanced riders. Several areas are available, including the main spot Riviera Maya for novices. Local feature: the water remains shallow everywhere, you can stand for long distances, and the Ikarus center offers pro gear and patient instructors.
Easy access by taxi from the Puerto Juarez ferry, 20 minutes away, for about 10-15 USD.
