Overview

The Racquet Club is a spot on the west (back) side of Tybee Island, facing the marshes and tidal creeks of the Back River. This spot offers protected flat water conditions, in contrast to the ocean spots on the east side of the island. The vast mud flats and creeks exposed at low tide create a unique playground for shallow water kitesurfing. Ideal in west or northwest winds, when the ocean spots are offshore.
