Sanur Kite Beach Bali

Sanur is where Kitesurfing is born on the island, numerous locals are picking up the sport.
A protective reef creates flat-water cruising conditions inside the lagoon with waves on the reef varying from small to huge.
Sideshore winds with wave up to 10 feet provide the perfect conditions for jumping and wave riding. The channel of Turtle Island is good as the wind here is always a few knots stronger than elsewhere and can ride at low tide.

A laid back atmosphere, many small hotels and excellent affordable restaurants make Sanur always a nice place to visit and stay.
