About the spot

The Porto Pollo spot is on Taravo beach in the Valinco gulf. Southerly thermal wind can provide afternoon freeriding, with schools selecting days for actual wind and water conditions. The described access is near the beachfront of Camping Cyrnos.

Moorings, swimming areas and the current launch layout constrain use. A thermal breeze is not guaranteed every day and can fade towards evening. Beginners should start with a school; independent riders should plan an early return. Beach parking does not confer overnight-stay permission.
