2024-03-06Sicily, Lo Stagnone is one of the safest and nicest kitesurfing destinations in Europe.
Kitesurfers paradise!
Sicily is the largest island on the Mediterranean Sea and it is the southest part of Italy. Thanks to its location the weather is warm and the kitesurfing season is very long in Lo Stagnone, Marsala.
There are about 300 windy days here during the year. The temperature in spring and autumn is around 20 Celsius therefore the season starts in March and goes until November. These conditions are quite similar to Tarifa, the biggest kitesurfing destination ย in the World. Sicily has a big advantage though: it is not so crowded yet, so even beginners can feel safe while practicing. Lo Stagnone offers a unique kite spot with flat, shallow water and thermic winds. These are the ingredients of the perfect kitesurfing destination. With these conditions it is easy to say that kitesurfing in Sicily is like kitesurfing in paradise. ย Not only the most comfortable, but shallow waters are also the safest places to learn kitesurfing. We donโt need a rescue boat around here, you can stand up easily even in the deepest parts of the lagoon .

Lo stagnone is for everyone!
Kitesurfing in Lo Stagnone is as easy as it gets for beginners and for advanced riders as well. Just imagine that you can practice your tricks or to ride upwind without worrying about your board. In case you lose it, you can stand up, walk back and grab it. If your level is intermediate, and you cannot stay upwind yet, you can easily walk up each time you feel that youโre getting too far from where you started. This way you can practice a lot more without wasting time walking on the beach. It takes considerably less time to master the needed skills like this. Not to mention that you can reach an independent level sooner and then you can rent equipment. Thanks to this you donโt need to spend a fortune to learn kitesurfing.
When is the season?
Spring: We start our season from mid March, the wind can be anything between 10-40 knots till June. Many days with Sirocco from the South what can go up to 35-40 knots.
Summer: June-August. Constant, thermic wind from the North building up during the day. It starts around 10-11 a.m., it peaks in the afternoon and from 5-6 p.m. it starts to get weaker again.
Autumn: September – mid November.
Similar conditions like during spring.

The quality of the teaching and the lessons is the best in the world ๐ and Iโve been through quite a few instructors, kiteschools in different countries. After El Gouna,... read more Fuerteventura or Greece it is HERE that one achieves fast progress and learns not only efficiently, but in perfect safety. The team is sharp, punctual, and wonโt waste students time which is what many others do. Last year I finally mastered my water start here, and quickly progressed to transitions, jibes and now this year popping, jumps and tricks, not to mention toeside and surfing. I also love love love the quality of the material, and the wide choice of kites to go for. So whether it's lessons, or lagoon access you're after talk to Gabor and the team. They were also kind enough to advise on accommodation (suitable for smart working) and arrange transfers. You will get not just a friendly attitude, but the feeling you're part of the family. Looking forward to next season!
