Downwind from Portals Vells to Palma for 16km's on a westerly. Mallorca or Majorca, is the largest island in the Balearic Islands, which are part of Spain and located in the Mediterranean. The capital of the island, Palma, is also the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. The Balearic Islands have been an autonomous region of Spain since 1983. There are two small islands off the coast of Mallorca: Cabrera (southeast of Palma) and Dragonera (west of Palma).

  • Launch is from is a from Platgeta de Portals Vells  or big cala or sand beach easy to parking. Flat water entry.


    Really technical dw. Swell, wind waves and second swell coming from the rocks.

    Here you can see a video clip of the conditions.


    Arrive to a long beach but nos sand, easy yo get out dont worry. Finish is Platja de Can Pere Antoni





    A boat would be perfect but not really necessary. I go with an app that the people can follow me in real time where im I. Important is in the route you pass in front of the international port. You have to know times when the boats goes out.


    Have fun and please stay safe!
    Some Basic Safety Guidelines

    - It is very difficult to spot someone in the water especially in strong wind conditions, so please make sure you can be seen - use bright colour clothing. Wear a brightly coloured PFD Wear a brightly coloured rash vest ( luminous green or orange is best)

    - Use a buddy system - doing a downwind with someone else is always safer than on your own.

    - Have a VHF Radio, mobile/cell phone in a waterproof bag ( test that you can use this in all conditions)

    - Know who to call for help and be sure that your family know who to call. Be sure that someone knows where you are and when you should return. And that they will call for help if this time is exceeded.

    - Other useful tips - Use a leash from the craft to your body. Have a signal flare (hand held are best) or pencil flares. Carry a reflector / mirror. Have a whistle that works when wet. Have your name and landline number on your craft. Leave a card with your name and phone number (mobile/cell and landline) on your vehicle dashboard.
