Cheju-Do / Sinyang Beach

Water depth ranges from 0.5-2 meters, depending on tide. The water is quite flat due to the bay and breakwaters. Sandy beach, quite long, but only about 30 meters wide. There are power lines about 50 meters from water for length of beach. Lava rock formations are present at each end of the beach, so kiters must stay well upwind and away from these obstacles. Cheju Island is known around Korea as being a windy place. It's best winds are during the fall and spring seasons (typically NW or NE winds, sometimes SW) with winds ranging from 15 to 30 knots - many days (maybe 2 or 3 days a week).
