Kitesurf school at Fregene, Focene and Maccarese

Fiumicino

The school moves along the coast north of Rome — Fregene, Focene, Maccarese, Passoscuro — and teaches on whichever beach the wind is actually working that day.

How the day goes

  1. Meet on the beach that has the breeze, gear loaded and ready.
  2. The kite first, on the sand, then dragged through the shallows behind it.
  3. Board work once the kite has stopped surprising you.

The dependable thermal breeze is a summer afternoon affair, so a still morning can turn into time spent sitting on the sand.
