Kite Spot Motosuka-Katagia - Japan

Description

<p>Good thermal winds during the warmer season. Only during the Monsoon season that it is really calm. The monsoons run from early june until late July. Before and after those seasons are the best consistant winds. During the winter the winds are generally offshore and the water is WAY to cold.</p> <p>Great spot in the southerlies because of the large rock wall to the south that keeps the chop at bay while allowing the swell to roll on in.<br /> <br /> Big wide beaches and very friendly local crew.</p>

How to go there

From Tokyo drive in the direction of Chiba and then into Togane. When you hit the beach from the toll road, Motosuka is about 1km north just on the other side of the small river.
