Awesome kite spot!! - Land bridge protects the Keyhaven marshes from the main swell so even when the wind is cranking it can be completely flat!!
The local Kite club ( hurstkityeclub.co.uk) has had to work really hard to keep this spot open to kitesurfers so please check the code of conduct dfor this spot.
1. Maximum of 6 riders at any one time at each location, take turns if there are other riders on the water.
2. These areas are for competent kitesurfers only; no learners/teaching.
3. These areas are only kiteable at certain tidal times, usually 2 hours each side of high water, check tide times & ride accordingly.
4. Do not use pontoon for jumping off or over in Hurst Castle lagoon.
5. Do NOT transit the river.
6. Mount Lake – do NOT sail past the moored yachts; you must stay at the road end of the lake.
7. Telegraph Lake – maintain absolute minimum of 50m downwind buffer zone when passing moored vessels.
8. Give way to all other watercraft & water users.
9. Stay clear of all nesting birds, flora and fauna -this means stay off the marshes when launching, landing & riding.
