About Fener
Flat to choppy water. The small kitesurfing beach which is just North of the Kemer beach has a shallow area going out in a semi-circle approx 70m. Only on strong westerlies some nice waves can build up. Open sea conditions and with main wind direction in summer being NNW to NW you won't reach a beach for hours if anything goes wrong. The local kite/windsurf school which operates at the main Kemer beach told me they keep a look-out till 6pm and send a rescue boat for Euro 20 (you could try haggling). Tell the school that you're kiting on the next beach, so they know. They can't see the kiters, only the ones that are in problems when they are drifting by.
