A real kiting paradise
"One of the things I like so much about Jæren is that the beaches there are so accessible for everyone. You'll find big car parks right by many of the beaches, and there are often paths down to the water. Some parking lots even have showers and a place to hang up your equipment for drying," Mona explains.
In the Jæren area, you'll have plenty of kiting spots to choose from. Just keep in mind that the Jæren beaches are protected as part of the Jærstrendene landscape conservation area. Some parts of the beaches are also plant and bird protection areas, which means kiting (and any type of surfing) is prohibited from 1 October to 31 March.
In the area, kiting is only permitted on Sola beach, Hellestø and Byberg beaches, Bore beach, and Brusand beach.
"Sola beach is one of the most popular beaches in the Stavanger region and is fantastic for wind and water sports. The location, right by the airport, is just incredible. You can fly in and almost walk straight to the water. There are almost always other kiters at Sola, so if you have just started learning kiting, it can be a good place to go to get some advice," Mona says.
In the area, the kiting season usually lasts from May to September. Remember that when autumn arrives, it usually gets more windy, and the waves get bigger.
