Riumar

Riumar is located within the Ebro River Delta in northeastern Spain, a complex lagoon and agricultural system where freshwater channels meet Mediterranean coastal waters. The spot features shallow, protected lagoon waters separated from open sea by barrier beaches and extensive dike systems. The delta's intricate network of rectangular fish ponds and irrigation channels defines the landscape, with the main kite area occupying shallow lagoon zones protected from ocean swell. This is fundamentally a light-wind, protected-water spot suited for beginners and progression riders seeking flat-water conditions. The consistently low wind speeds (7.3 knots average) and minimal swell (0.53m) mean sessions depend on specific weather windows. Northwest winds are ideal for the northeast-facing lagoon orientation. Kiters must navigate shallow depths requiring specialized equipment and awareness of underwater obstacles, embedded posts, and soft mud. The low wind reliability makes this primarily a destination during seasonal wind patterns rather than a consistent year-round spot. Best suited for learners practicing body-dragging and light-wind techniques in forgiving conditions.
