Kitesurfing passion! Book your lesson
27 September 2023
Grado is one of the very few spots where learning to kitesurf is child's play, as waves and currents do not exist and, thanks to the shallow sandy seabed and constant spring winds, we guarantee maximum safety and fun during your learning process. Kite Life Grado ASD is specialised in teaching kitesurfing to children.
Topics covered during teaching activities :
- spot risk assessment
- wind direction;
- prevention of risks on land and at sea;
- equipment set-up;
- kite safety systems ;
- wind window and first flight with simulator (about 45 min)
