Spots › Kent
Greatstone (Lade)
One of the finest flat-water spots in south-east England — very shallow, shelving, often butter-flat. Exceptional for learning, freeride, freestyle, and foiling. The only beach on the South Coast that works in a north-easterly. Low tide is the target; competent riders can use most of the tide cycle but beginners should avoid ~90 min either side of HW. School: Infinity Sport Kitesurfing.
