About this spot

Nechranice is one of the three Czech reservoirs (with Nové Mlýny and Rozkoš) where the Duotone importer runs its test days, and it appears on every Czech spot list.

Riders describe the water entry over rocks — a community report compares a bad Rozkoš entry to 'stones like at Nechra'. Booties are a good idea. No school is documented here.

Amenities

  • Campsites and bathing areas around the reservoir

Needs local verification: Wind window is my estimate from the shoreline. Compiled in October 2026 from the Czech kiting association (Český svaz kitingu), kiteboarding.cz spot articles, Surfmagazín's Czech spot guide, school pages (Kitesport Lipno, Mushow Kiteschool, HARAKIRI kite kurzy), the South Bohemia tourism board and community spot lists (Kiteforum, Spotkitesurf). Pins are approximate, wind windows are partly my reading of the shoreline, and fishing, camping-fee and bathing-zone rules change by season — they need checking on site. Water temperature is a seasonal reservoir estimate; the marine model has no inland data.

Local hazards

  • Stony entry
  • No school or rescue on site
  • Large open water — drift distance is long
