Cruz del Sur and Excluciva; you can purchase Cruz del Sur tickets online. Be warned that Spirit Airlines from Ft. Lauderdale, while cheap, only allows 1 bag for luggage; not 1 suitcase and 1 kite bag.

Mancora is gifted with amazing weather year around. With the clashing of the warm and cool ocean currents just to the south, a great micro climate has been created. The average air temperature 80°F / 28C all year with cool nights. The ocean water in and around Mancora is trunks 365 days a year. There is the off chance that you will need a spring suit to cut some chill from the wind. Keep in mind that the water just 45 min south is much colder and full suits are mandatory in the winter and spring suit to shorty in the summer. The water temp is very dependent on the currents.

Mancora, Peru is a
Chop, Small waves, Medium waves and Big waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Tidal size.
Sandy beach. The wind season is may to Jan, with the best winds been from October to December. There is never many people on the water so there is loads of space.
The water here is beautiful. In Mancora you have everything from the point which has a great left hand peeling wave that is pretty easy to kite on to beach break launch ramps that are more down in the bay. The point starts off as cobble stone rocks that on a low tide can be exposed and will take your fins right off. High tide there is nothing to worry about. The inside of the point is all sand. Past the point you have open beach with a sandy bottom.

Like any spot that is good for surfing, give the right away to the surfers that are paddling in, if they are in the line up. Also, be respectful of the locals. Practice good wave riding etiquette by not short jibing other kiters that are further up the point, get into the rotation...and take your turn. If you are jumping around on a twin tips and guys are kiting the waves, get out of the waves and jump around in the bay out of the way. Don't leave trash on the beach.
