Description of Lomala-Kaugatoma (Estonia)
With West wind, this is the best spot in Saaremaa. A large shallow water lagoon that, due to the distance from the mouth of the sea, presents itself with almost flat water. The entrance to the spot consists of a small pebble beach where you need assistance to launch and land the kite, but once out in the water, you have plenty of flat and shallow water to practice. As said best spot with west wnd from the capital of the island Kuressaare.
