About this spot
A visiting rider reported kiting here on two days in 2013: one too light, one great. Going right was easy with jumps off the waves; going left was very hard because wind and waves both pulled towards the beach, making upwind progress nearly impossible.
Other Benin waters tried by riders (Tchonvi, Possotomé, Casa del Papa in Ouidah) were described as poor for kiting because of fishing nets, so they are not listed.
