Course for Children
Designed for young people between 9 and 12 years old.
Designed for young people between 9 and 12 years old.
This course is designed for children who have no experience with sailing as well as for those who are already familiar with sailing dinghies or windsurfing. The course is aimed at young people between the age of 9 and 12: our school supplies wetsuits and harnesses appropriate for this specific age, as well as Hybrid Flysurfer kite foils specifically designed for teaching younger children and 128 cm boards.
From kite control to board balance, kids enhance motor skills and self-esteem with every step.
Kitesurfing gets kids off screens and into fresh air, sunshine, and Sardinia’s natural beauty.
Every water session is an adventure! Kids enjoy unique experiences with the sea, wind, and stunning landscapes.
Our teachers are trained to work with kids, explaining techniques clearly and patiently.
We keep a low student-to-instructor ratio, ensuring personalized attention for steady, calm progress.
All equipment is sized for lighter weights, including small boards and kites (e.g., Flysurfer Hybrid). Punta Trettu’s shallow waters and gentle winds create a safer setting for kids.
The course is designed with the principle of game-sailing in mind, but without neglecting technical foundations and safety rules
After completing the course the student will be able to safely maneuver and relaunch the kite understanding its power and its limitations. He will have developed a good body drag technique, allowing him to head to any direction with the help of the kite but without a board
For children who show particular talent, the course will end by introducing the use of the board and by explaining how to get to actually ride, always under the supervision of the instructor who will guide the student through all learning stages
You will be guided step by step by an instructor for the whole duration of the course.
You can choose to attend taking up lessons in pairs, two students per instructor.
By choosing the course in a pair you can save money on the price of the course; the students will be able to alternate (or interchange) during the practice of the sport itself, which will be very useful in order to spot possible mistakes by watching the performance of the other person who you’re having the lesson with.
N.B. In order for this type of course to be effective and practically possible, students must have a weight difference no greater than 10 kg.
N.B. Prices are per child.
If you are a group of 3 children, you can choose to attend the group kitesurf course for beginners, which includes one instructor with three students.

Kitesurfing is a wind-powered water sport. This extreme sport harnesses the wind with an inflatable wing, called a kite, controlled by a bar connected to four 22-24 meter long lines. The kite pulls you upright on a board similar to a wakeboard. It's relatively easy to learn and suitable for all ages, which is why it has become so popular in recent years.
Aerodynamically, the kite is essentially a small airplane wing. The difference in pressure between the upper and lower parts, called "lift", keeps it in the air. While riding, you can decide the angle and position of the kite, thus controlling your speed through the water.
Being an extreme sport, kitesurfing involves risks. However, by learning to control the kite during the course, respecting the navigation rules, and always maintaining the right distance from obstacles, it can become a truly extraordinary experience. Always remember to check local weather conditions before choosing the right equipment.
You can learn and practice kitesurfing at any spot with a sandy beach and sufficient onshore wind (i.e., blowing toward the shore). However, some locations are more suitable, with more favourable water and weather conditions than average, and with kitesurfing schools already operating.
A shallow lagoon with steady winds is the ideal place to learn. In Southern Italy, Lo Stagnone in Sicily and Porto Botte and Punta Trettu in Sardinia offer very similar and optimal conditions, which is perfect for beginner kitesurfers.
The price of kitesurfing equipment varies depending on whether it's new or used. Kites range in price from about €400 to €2,500. The control bar ranges from €250 to €700, the harness to connect the kite to ranges from €60 to €300, and a board ranges from €200 to around €700.
Most kitesurfing schools in Italy require membership in their sports club, which includes kitesurfing insurance. However, you can always check with your local insurance company. Be sure to ask about kitesurfing-specific options, as they are not always included in extreme sports insurance.
Generally, children can start kitesurfing at age 10. Some children start a few years earlier, depending on their concentration and motor control. In any case, the minimum weight required for safe kitesurfing is 30 kg.
