![]() If you want a real adventure then head for Isola Lunga on the opposite side of the lagoon. Perfect for: Freeride on absolute butter flat water, freestyle, jumping around wall Works with wind direction: North (Salinas close to mainland) and West (Salinas close to Isola Lunga) Remember how Aaron Hadlow kept you craving for a mirror flat water in his video from Sicily “Reflection”? You can do it as well exactly here. Anyway, behind salina walls in the lagoon water is perfectly flat so you can enjoy truly extraordinary condition. Those little ponds are turning pink sometime around august-september but beware, it’s illegal to kite inside of them and locals will get angry very fast, since it’s polluting their production. Perfect for: Freeride in beautiful turquoise water, small kicker wavesĪround the north entrance to the lagoon you can find many Salinas where local produce salt. Works with wind direction: All directions but best with North-West and South-west North entrance to the lagoon from the sea is really special place where turquoise sea water meets the lagoon, easily the best place to snap a drone shot! We admit that the water here can get shallow and together with sand it’s quite sketchy for freestyle tricks so take care! On a right day you can even have a small wave on the entrance that you can use as a little kicker for the tricks. Perfect for: Cruise with friends, photoshoot Works with wind direction: North and South Take care when you will be crossing the island on the downwind side because it will create wind shadow, best is to get some distance and cross it more downwind. The best way how to make a round trip is to start upwind and then enjoy the downwind run behind the island. On your way you will find many interesting sights, little spots, sunken boats or old Salinas and windmills. During the days with reliable wind (north or sound) take a trip around this island with your friends (for safety never alone), trust me. Suddenly you will escape 99% of the crown and will be surrounded by beautiful vegetation and small sandy beaches. If you cruise just behind the Santa Maria island you will find yourself in another world. Perfect for: Short freestyle session for butter flat water Works with wind direction: North is the best Just don’t jump too close to the island, there might be few rocks so check your place first. At the first sight water may seem too shallow, but if you try to walk on it you will find deep mud so crashing there is very safe. This spot is really close from the main beach (just one ride downwind) so it’s a perfect place to train your freestyle tricks. Just a few tacks upwind from the main beach you can find the cape of the thin Santa Maria island, where sandbank comes out and created perfect flat water for freestyle. Perfect for: Easy freeride, beginners, big air in strong wind Works with wind direction: All directions But if you want really extraordinary experience, you will have to “break out of the crowd” and venture to one of the spots mentioned below… ![]() Fear not, students usually stays close to the shore so if you kite a bit out you will find a lots of space. Water is shallow which makes it ideal for students, but of course that means less space for more advanced riders. This spot is the perfect place for the school because it works with all wind directions. Of course, you need to know where to go and in which wind direction so in this short guide we would like to show you our most favorite spots.įor sure the first place where you will kite will be the beach just in front of the kite center. Of course, 90% of the kiters will freeride close to the main beach next to the ProKite Alby Rondina kite center, but if you are brave and kite little bit further you can find really exceptional spots to ride. One of the most interesting thing about the lagoon is diversity of the spots you can find around. During the season wind can blow from all directions, however prevailing ones are from North (almost every day in summer months) and South, with few exceptions of West wind. This is thanks to its close proximity to Europe, steady winds all year long but mainly by 2000 hectares huge natural flat & shallow lagoon. In the last 5 years Lo Stagnone has become the most popular spot around Europe for a perfect flat water conditions. ![]()
