Kitespot: Salinas del Rey, Colombia

“The most windy costal region of Colombia is the Atlántico. It’s at its strongest, yet very gusty, close to Barranquilla and weaker as the wind reaches Cartagena . Located in between is the village of Santa Veronica with the kitespot named Salinas del Rey.”

“Key to the spot in Santa Veroncia is the bay at the send of Salinas del Rey. The shape of the bay creates a unique spot with both flat areas and waves with clear shapes and flats between the sets. It’s also an excellent base for large  range of downwinds, lasting from 30 minutes to six hours.”

“The flat and shallow areas in the bay are popular for those learning to kitesurf. It’s a safe spot to learn as both wind and waves bring any kiter back to the sandy beach. There are no obstacles inside the bay.”
