Improve your kitsurfing and Wingfoil skills in the Bonifacio Strait area on board a sailing catamaran. The geography of the spot makes a natural funnel between the mouths of Bonifacio and the northern tip of Sardinia, which results in incredible wind statistics!
The kitesurfing cruise of your dreams The journey
Improve your kitsurfing and Wingfoil skills in the Bonifacio Strait area on board a sailing catamaran. The geography of the spot makes a natural funnel between the mouths of Bonifacio and the northern tip of Sardinia, which results in incredible wind statistics!
The advantage of starting directly from the sailing catamaran is that you can sail wherever you want, even in unconventional kite spots, without access from land. You will make downwind kitesurfing and open sea trips, you will improve IKO safety procedures and learn the basics of sailing in the Strait of Bonifacio.
You will also benefit from the security brought from the boat.
Kite level required The Kite & Sail Camp in Sardinia and in Corsica is open to intermediate/advanced level kiteboarders: the kiteurs must be able to ride consistently upwind in all wind conditions, control the kite on land, body drag upwind, relaunch the kite from the water, body drag to their lost board and land the kite themselves with the chicken loop quick release.
Instructors who are unsure of all the above skills must declare their ability and will take beginner lessons or the Assistance Plus package during the camp.

Best time to visit The perfect months
The season starts in April and ends in October. The passage between the mouths of Bonifacio and Sardinia creates a venturi effect, an acceleration of the wind.
It is possible to sail all year round but conditions are perfect from spring to early autumn.
