About
Cypel (Rewa) is a kitesurfing- and wind sports spot built around a long narrow sand spit in the Bay of Puck. Riders get shaped conditions within the bay: the leeward side is described as exceptionally flat, while the windward side can be choppy, allowing a mix of styles without changing location. For kiteboarding, the shallow sandbar/lagoons around the spit are a major attraction for practicing freestyle and freeride, including speed and bump & jump concepts. The spot’s flat-water side is also repeatedly framed as beginner-friendly in the conditions described, though multiple sources warn that the environment can include fishing nets and swimmer activity. Safety and access require attention: the area is associated with a protected natural site (bird sanctuary), and some sections may be off-limits during nesting seasons. Seasonal swimmer zones are specifically highlighted for July and August, and riders are advised to check local rules before launching—potentially including special permits/membership requirements via local kite organization structures. Operationally, the spot is supported by nearby amenities (toilets, restaurant options, and parking), but it can become crowded on windy summer weekends. Wind direction preferences align across sources (N, NE, E, NW), with the most commonly recommended riding window spanning spring through autumn and particularly March–May and September–November.
