“Progression Project forum first-hand February trip report says riders were kiting daily just north of Playa Punta Esmeralda and that local thermals produced 15–20 kt on three to four of seven days even when WindAlert under-read them. Beach-area pin; wing suitability is a community inference from the local wind-sports use and trip context.”
