These spots in La Ventana are known for windsurfing. Each has its own character and conditions.
The main launch. Sandy beach with cross-shore El Norte wind. Gets busy with kiters in peak season.
Point break to the south. Wind accelerates around the point. Stronger and gustier.
A freeride or slalom sail (5.0–6.5m) and a freeride board (100–120L). The El Norte is cross-shore and strong, so tune your gear for power.
