Beautiful turquoise coloured flat water
Our center is on the southern end of the huge Soma Bay, right in front of the five star Caribbean World Resort Soma Bay and only a few short minutes away from the well known Intercontinental Resort.
The whole bay gives rise to absolutely sensational - and incredibly varied - windsurfing and kiting conditions: flat water, small to medium sized waves and shallow areas offer something for every level of ability. Due to the small, offshore islands and reefs, the entire bay feels as though it is framed, which gives a very pleasant feeling of security when you are out windsurfing and kiting.

Spot Guide Soma Bay |
The whole Soma Bay offers great and many several conditions. Due to small reefs and islands outside the bay is kind of framed and gives you a feeling of safety. It offers not only windsurfers and kiters various conditions and also unbelievable underwater landscapes for divers and people who likes to go snorkeling. Probably one of the most famous islands out there is the small Tobia Island, which lies across from the Planet Allsports center.
Due to the perfect position of our center, the beautiful island can be reached by the windsurf/ kite board its only one strike on half-/downwind course
The wind blows in the morning side offshore and can be gusty sometimes. Round about 11 oclock it turns to sideshore and gets more constant.
The spot in front of the center offers great conditions for almost every kind of windsurf/ advanced kite level:
a kind of small bay which closes on the leeward side it makes drifting off impossible
completely flat water with more or less no chop for the first 200300 m
a small standing area about 5-10 meters for easy starting
a sandbank with a standing area about 100 meters upwind, to learn and improve the windsurf skills and to do
fotoshooting and videos, it΄s perfect for speed, jibing and to learn the waterstart
wind direction side- to side offshore from the left
no reefs or other obstacles in front, making windsurfing/ kitesurfing easy, relaxed and safe! Long distance
strikes possible!
no other school/centers very close around less traffic on the water easy and safe surfing/ kitesurfing
for Kite beginners the Spot in front of the center is not recomended, they will start in the lagune which we
reach by boat |
