1.3 Where and at What time our classes take place

We are based in Cagliari, Sardinia.

Depending on wind conditions, for teaching kitesurfing we move to different spots in the South of Sardinia. In fact Sardinia is a very windy island (for more info on weather conditions in Sardinia have a look at this article). We can’t guarantee the availability of wind always in the same spot but we can almost always reach a windy spot!

Usually our classes are taken in the spots around Cagliari (15-20 minutes by car from the city center) or in the south-west-east coast of Sardinia (approximately 1 hour by car from the city center), depending on the blowing wind.

Classes usually start after 12 pm, with some cases of early morning classes (starting at 9-10 am) or late afternoon (starting at 3-4 pm) when particular weather conditions or several other courses are present.
Depending on wind conditions, the spots that we reach and where we teach kitesurf could be:

Obviously we cannot be sure there will be wind all the days, but moving in different spots we could offer classes almost everyday.

Planning of Kite Lessons is done the evening of day before (after checking the final wind forecasts); each student will know from the day before the meeting time and point and the spot where the kite lessons will be done 🙂

1.5 Kite Equipment

Each day, we are giving to each student some kite equipments like Harness, wetsuit, Helmet, sea shoes (if necessary); each student would be responsible for that equipment.

What does mean that?

That, in particular after the lessons,  you shall take care about the equipment, keep / bring with it with you and tell to the instructor where you are leaving it. The equipment shall be rinsed, and not left on the sand because, being it wet, all the sand will stick  on it.

1.6 Start and End of Kite Lessons

Our “Kite hour” is 60 minutes (some Kite center, consider the hour as 50 minutes).

Lessons will start 5 minutes after the instructor will give you the kite equipment. Lessons will finish when the kite is packed (if you are the last student of the day) or when the instructor will tell you “the lesson is finish”.

Usually we have many lessons and students everyday and everybody shall be on time in order to respect the other student-kitesurfers and the instructors.
