Known for the aquamarine-hued sea, verdant vegetation, and sun-drenched beaches, Corsica and Sardinia are among the most gorgeous destinations in the Mediterranean. Since the two islands are separated by less than 10 miles and boast epic kitesurfing opportunities, water sport lovers are usually on the fence about which one to choose. Luckily, you’ll get to visit both! Head on a week-long sailing and kitesurfing camp on board a comfy catamaran, learn about route planning, anchoring, mooring, and safety on board, and master some new tricks such as toeside, downloop, jibe, hooked jumps with rotations, and more. Your expert guide will show you both secluded spots and some more popular areas like the world-famous Porto Pollo on Sardinia’s north coast, the La Maddalena area, the Strait of Bonifacio, and many others. Let the constant mistral wind propel you into an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the Mediterranean and watch your kitesurfing skills improve in no time!

What you get on this adventure:
What’s not included:
NOTE: Private kiting lessons for beginners, intermediate, and advanced kiters, as well as the North KB 2022 kite gear can be demanded and purchased on request. The Assistance Plus package is for independent riders who need help to start from onshore beaches or to come back to offshore beaches, or who want to feel safer during days with demanding conditions or in technical spots. It consists of 3 lifts per day.
The only thing your instructor will expect from you is that you know how to swim, but of course, being in good shape helps. Strength isn’t a necessary component to successful kiteboarding; it’s all about the technique.
In order to participate in this sail and kite camp in Sardinia and Corsica, you need to be an intermediate or advanced kitesurfer. You are expected to be able to ride upwind consistently in all wind conditions, control the kite on land, body drag upwind, relaunch the kite from the water, body drag to your lost board, and self-land the kite with chicken loop quick release.
NOTE: If you’re not comfortable with these skills, you must declare your ability and take a leson for beginners or the Assistance Plus package during the camp.
Even though this camp is for intermediate and advanced kitesurfers, 1 beginner can join as well. The lessons for beginners are carried out by IKO instructors and the student is assisted and followed by a tender (safety boat) with radio communication. The lessons last for a maximum of 1h per day. More lessons for beginners are possible in case of groups of kiters requesting a camp with the entire catamaran. If you have a beginner in your team, contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.
The complete kite gear set (kite set, bar, twintip board, and harness) can be rented from your guiding service for an additional fee on request and is available only for experienced kiters.
When it comes to the equipment you need to bring, here’s what you’ll need:
Wetsuit and booties can be rented for an additional fee. Let us know if you need this gear as it is mandatory equipment for the camp.

Gear is available only for experienced kiters. Damages or loss will be charged (reparation costs + devalue). Gear insurance is available on request, but it does not cover loss of the gear. If you need to rent gear, contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.

Once you and your guide agree on the details of your itinerary, you will meet your guide in Cannigione in Sardinia at a predetermined location, where your sailing and kitesurfing camp will start. The catamaran will depart from Cannigione after the first briefing and when you check in at 9.30 am. On the last day, you’ll check out between 9 am and 10 am, and the catamaran will arrive in the marina either the evening before the last day or the morning of the last day.
