Location

This surf holiday will be held in Sardinia. Why Sardinia? warm water, consistent steady winds, flat water, chilled out atmosphere, and family and group friendly. The north coast of Sardinia offers you many think to do. One of the oldest and historical and cultural in the Mediterranean the North Coast is characterized by a wide white beach that extends for kilometers, crossed by the mouth of the Coghinas river.

It is one of the best spots for surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and paddle surfing in Sardinia. A beautiful landscape of dunes, of very fine sand, covered with junipers characterizes this spot and the whole horizon can be seen in the distance from the island of Asinara. Badesi Kite spot works very well with the Mistral, Ponente, Libeccio, Grecale, and Levante.

From May to October, with high pressure, a very nice thermal wind enters the bay side-on, constant and relaxed with practically flat water with spectacular colors. Is an ideal place for kitesurfing, both for those who want to improve in an easy and windy place and for those who love freestyle and freeride. Ideal for those who learn. The beach is more than five kilometers long and always guarantees a safe landing.
