  • Kitesurf
  • Wingfoil
<![CDATA[Eyrarbakki is a kitesurfing spot located on the south coast of Iceland, in the historic village of the same name. The spot faces the North Atlantic Ocean with waves and powerful oceanic conditions. Prevailing winds blow from the north-east and east, side-shore relative to the coast. Spot reserved for advanced and expert riders due to waves, strong currents and exposure to the open ocean. Very cold water — thick wetsuit or dry suit recommended. Black volcanic sand beach. Beware of changing conditions and the power of the Atlantic Ocean.]]>
