Position: Piazzale Azzurri d’Italia, 1 - Grado
From 15 April to 31 May 2024 - Monday to Friday
Kite Life Grado ASD organises Kite Camp Full Immersion for Families and Groups.
Grado is one of the very few spots where learning kitesurfing 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 journey.
