Overview

Molochnoe Tarelka is a kitesurfing spot located near Lake Molochnoe (Salt Lake) in western Crimea, not far from Yevpatoria. Lake Molochnoe is a shallow salt lake separated from the Black Sea by a narrow strip of land.

The lake offers exceptional conditions for beginners: extremely shallow water (often 30-50 cm), sandy bottom, flat water. The high salinity makes the water very dense. Wind is consistent with a prevailing west to southwest direction.
