Rice Bowl is a kitesurf spot located on the southeast coast of Jersey, near St Clement. This spot offers shallow waters and a relatively flat water area at low tide, ideal for beginners and intermediate riders. Jersey's huge tides create a vast sandy playground. The spot works well in south and southwest winds, with good wave protection thanks to the shallows.
