Where we are

The Headquarter of our Kite Center is in Punta Trettu, in the south west of Sardinia. We also have a branch in Cagliari, the Capital of Sardinia.

Where do the kite courses take place?

Depending on the blowing wind, usually our kite courses could be taken in:

• in Punta Trettu, considered one ot the best kite spots in Europe, located in the south-west of Sardinia (approximately 1 hour by car from the center of Cagliari);
• in the kite spots around Cagliari (approximately 20 minutes by car from the city center), that are Poetto Beach of Cagliari, and Petrol Beach.

Sometimes we could give kite courses and lessons also in other kite spots of Southern Sardinia (e.g. Villasimius and Porto Botte), but only in particular cases and favorable weather conditions. So, definitely, we can guarantee our services only in Punta Trettu and in the spots around Cagliari, Poetto Beach and Petrol Beach. Anyway, during the summer season, because many beaches are crowded, the most of times our Kitesurfing lessons take place at Punta Trettu. We change spot to find the best wind and the proper conditions for kitesurfing. In this was almost always we allow our students to kite and not be thrown on the beach waiting for a wind that does not arrive. We think that this is a big plus for everyone!!

Shuttle service for kite lessons

Shuttle Service from the center of Cagliari to Petrol Beach and Punta Trettu could be provided to our students, taking kite lessons with us, if agreed in advance and if there is availability. People that would like to take this service will move with the instructors. Especially during the summer season, the instructors could have several kite courses and, in this case, people using the shuttle service should wait that the instructors will finish all their kite courses before to go back to Cagliari. People that would like to go back immediately after their kite lessons, could ask for a private transfer service.

Have a look at the page of the KiteGeneration service prices to see the economic conditions of the different options.

Transfer service

The transfer service is tailored and provided in order to allow you to reach and leave the KiteGeneration Punta Trettu Kite Center from/to the Cagliari airport or train station (approx. at 80km) and the Carbonia train station (approx. at 25km) in the most effective way.

In order to select the most appropriate transfer service for you, evaluate the comfortability of your trip (e.g. number and size of the luggage, timetable of your flight and availability of the trains to from Cagliari-Elmas to Carbonia Serbariu station or viceversa) and the economic conditions of the different options at KiteGeneration service prices.

In the period from the end of March to the end of October, we are available for kitesurfing lessons and kite courses every day, weather conditions permitting (but usually in this period we can find wind almost every day). At other times of the year, everything depends on the weather and the kite lessons and kite courses must be agreed in advance.
We therefore recommend booking kite lessons and kite courses at all times of the year, we may not have availability for last minute requests.

Kite Lessons and Courses usually start after 12 pm (in fact, the wind, usually blows after 12 pm). Sometimes Kite Lessons and Courses can start early in the morning (at 9-10 am) or late in the afternoon (4-5 pm) when particular weather / wind conditions are present (planning and timing of kite lessons / courses usually can be fixed only 1-2 days before the lessons, when the weather forecast is more clear). For this reason, most of the times, we could advise you about the time and the kite spot where the kite lessons will take place, only the day before the lessons.

Kite Courses and Kitesurfing Lessons proposed by our Kitesurf Center are managed and organized to make the kitesurfing learning and improvement  easy, fast and safe.

In order to provide the best quality and to guarantee the safety during the kite Courses and Lessons, our Kitesurf Center:

• Kite equipment: all kite equipment (Kite, Bar, Board, Harness, Wetsuit, Helmet, etc) is provided by our kitesurf center and included in the price of kite courses and lessons. We use modern kite equipment by North KiteBoarding, the world leader on sail equipment.
