Ivankovo Reservoir (Dubna)
The Moscow Sea, with its dam at Dubna, is about 120 km long and up to 12 km wide. That is a lot of fetch for a lake so close to the capital, and kiting is one of the things people do on it in summer.

A large open surface means the wind has room to build, but the best sections depend on direction. We have not confirmed specific launch areas or working directions here, so use the forecast and ask local riders before picking a bank.
Water & level
The reservoir freezes from about mid-November to mid-April, so the open-water season runs from late April to October. Expect chop on a windy day and a mixed depth near the banks.
Launch & rules
Look for a bank that is open to the wind direction of the day, and keep clear of fishing boats, moorings and swim areas. Rules vary between sections of the reservoir.
Watch out
Cold water in spring and autumn, floating debris and nets, boats and anglers, and thin ice at the start and end of the season. This is a short working guide: spots and rules are still being checked.
Forecast: 5 models side by side
Wind and gusts every 3 hours from five weather models, refreshed every hour. When the models agree, trust it; when they disagree, check the live stations before you drive.
