Overview

Kitesurf
Wingfoil

Mopion Island is a tiny sand islet located south of Petit Saint Vincent in the Grenadines. This sandbar surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters is a truly unique kitesurf spot. The water is shallow around the islet, but currents can be strong between the islands. Easterly trade winds blow unobstructed, offering powerful and consistent wind. The spot is reserved for intermediate and advanced riders due to its isolation and currents. Access is only by boat.
