Kite surfing in the center of Karlskrona! Large rigging place on grass. Rocky to go into the water though. This place is a public area for the public and many breed their dogs here. Pay attention to people nearby and show consideration. Pretty choppy water, but you can take long sticks all the way to, for example, Sturkö, where and elsewhere you can find better water that can be really good. Keep in mind your safety if you go away far away. Much boat traffic summertime to pay attention to. The year round, ferry boats and especially the ferry to Aspö are just outside Stumholmen. Notice where these run and avoid being in these leads more than crossing them. If you take a long sticker, you should also keep in mind that Stena Line travels further from/to Verkö. Optimal wind SSE. Works from SW to ENE. Can easily become gusty. May be difficult to find parking outside at Stumholmen. Suggestions for parking see map picture Stumholmen. It's good to drive by car to Stumholmen to unload equipment.

North Bollö, Karlskrona boat required
Island between Aspö and Hasslö. Shallow bay that is relatively protected from waves. Military exercise area, which means that the public has the right of access, but the Armed Forces' ships have priority for mooring at the bridge. During shooting practice, a red flag is hoisted (near the mooring bridge). Rigging can take place in different places, partly flat rocks and partly meadows. In addition to the bridge, you can moor on land where you find it suitable. Due to the short distance between Aspö and Hasslö, the choice of wind directions is minimized. Optimal wind N. Works from NNW to NNO. Not big waves, flat water can be obtained. SO can also work, in this case better flat water is obtained inside the bay.
