Cudrefin kitesurf spot
Switzerland · Waadt
Overview
South-West or Joran spot, it also works with bise wind for experts.
The bay below the harbor has a sandy bottom with 1m depth. The public beach is forbidden for kiting, launching is done north of the harbor in the dinghy launching area. 3m wide grass beach to set up the kite.
In south-west wind, the spot is flat near the shore as it's downwind from the harbor.
Overall, a spot rather reserved for experts and locals.
