Banzai

Banzai is located on the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy, situated in a shallow Mediterranean bay with residential and agricultural development. The spot faces south toward open water, creating a protected bay environment with clear water in deeper sections transitioning to lighter, sediment-laden water near shore. The coastline features mixed sandy and rocky areas with significant residential infrastructure and road access. The spot characteristics indicate beginner-friendly conditions with minimal swell exposure and moderate wind requirements. Side-shore winds from the east (90°) provide optimal safely angled wind across the bay. Current wind reliability of 5.3% and average wind speed of 5.9 knots suggest this is a marginal location requiring consistent weather monitoring. Water temperatures average 17.8°C, necessitating seasonal wetsuits. The shallow bay environment and nearby boat traffic require awareness of other water users. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected conditions, though sessions depend heavily on wind arrival. The agricultural hinterland and residential density mean access may be restricted during certain seasons.
