Sicily – our newest kiting destination!

With easy and fast flights from all around Europe, a kite school that offers the perfect setup on the spot with an onsite hotel, an amazing, humongous flat water lagoon with unique conditions both for beginners and advanced kiters, pleasant weather with steady winds all year round, Sicily is the next up and coming kitesurfing destination!

Sicily is simply perfect for singles and couples that love their days routine to consist of eating, sleeping and kiting! The lagoon of Lo Stagnone offers a great kitesurfing area for beginners just starting out or improvers looking to progress. The large flat water area is shallow enough all around that you can stand up no matter how deep you get or far you go and with a great warm water temperature, and a daytime temperature that never drops below 20°C in summer, the area is perfect for beginners and freestyles and this is one of the safest places in the world to kitesurf. With conditions like these, it takes considerably less time to master new skills and is easier to spend hours practising by yourself.

The wind is consistent and reliable with winds coming from the north and a thermic wind which picks up usually after 2pm and lasts until the sun goes down. It is possible to kitesurf safely in all wind conditions and Lo Stagnone has about 300 windy days per year but the most reliable wind is between the months of November and March, making Sicily the perfect destination during these months when many other destinations are a no go.

The picturesque lagoon is also home to a number of small islands and is famous for its salt pans and windmills, while a number of great bakeries, bars, restaurants, beautiful beaches and cultural sites can be found within an easy drive of the spot for those lazy days spent exploring!
