Mate. used to do a lot of kiting there. think most sites are being built on now. You need a 14 or bigger. It gets windy in the arvo. but not that much. If you get hired by GF then you really need a boat now to get to the off shore islands.

Problem is..when u want to go kite surfing the wind goes flat...so u drive to the yacht club load up the boat then battle the 3-5 footers on the way to Jarada, because.... u guessed it!! suddenly 15kts of wind have appeared!!!:{

Kite surfing down at Durrat last Summer. Altho' this might not be available due to construction works.

Head for Riffa Golf Club, go past, hang a right at the scrapyard and head south. Try not to go into Shaikh Isa.
