Aruba Kitesurf Guide brings you Boca Grandi, the second most visited kitesurfspot on the island. This is a 500 meter long bay with onshore wind.
When here and looking out towards the left there is also a mile long stretch of flatwater section along the shoreline.
On the inside there is a sandbar with plenty of little waves to pop from. From the middle to right-side of the bay there is a section of reef that only becomes exposed at low-tide. And lastly on the outside (strictly for the advanced) plenty of overhead swell to dodge waves on, just don’t ever drop your kite here.
