Alabota is a kitesurfing spot on an inland lake in western Russia, approximately 1,400 km east of Moscow. The spot features a westward-facing coastline with water to the west, making northerly (0°) winds ideal for side-shore conditions. As an inland lake, the spot experiences minimal wave generation and relatively protected waters compared to ocean venues. Wind reliability is notably low at 11.8%, indicating this location is marginal for consistent kitesurfing conditions. Average wind speeds of 7.9 knots are below the typical 12+ knot minimum for most kitesurfing activities. The cold water temperature averaging 4.0°C necessitates thick wetsuits year-round. This spot suits beginners during rare favorable wind windows, as the calm, shallow lake water provides forgiving conditions for learning. However, the very limited wind reliability and low average wind speed make this primarily a fair-weather destination best suited for local enthusiasts during spring and autumn when wind activity may be slightly higher. Winter conditions are likely unfavorable due to ice formation.
