Los Roques

Madrisky mainly works with a wind from the east to northeast in the Los Roques archipelago, although the exact reading depends on the weather window of the day and the local orientation of the launch area. In this sector, the spot is generally more comfortable when the wind is well established and consistent, as the water remains easier to manage than in open areas.

The water surface is most often flat, with little marked chop in the sheltered passages. It is a spot where one navigates by favoring the clear areas around the sandbank and small passes, with a simple launch when the wind is clean. The launch area must remain wide and free, as space can quickly become limited if several riders cross paths in the same spot.

Depending on the tide, reading the spot changes mainly regarding depth and the width of the navigable area. At low tide, some parts become very shallow and require attention to the shallow spots. At high tide, access is more comfortable, with more margin to place the kite and take off without constraints. It is an easier spot for riders who already know how to manage their trajectory and space, although a beginner accompanied can find very good conditions in the most sheltered areas.
