Floripa Beach School
Our kitesurfing school opened in 2007, in the beautiful beach of Santa Maria del Focallo between Pozzallo and Ispica, south Sicily.
5 km of kite beach and a wonderful sea with shallow water, waiting for you to practice and refine your kitesurfing skills safely. Our Kitesurfing school certificate IKO (International Kiteboarding organization) is run by certificate instructors who speak Italian, English, Spanish and Portuguese. We also have a rescue boat on the spot, however kitesurfing is very safe in our beach, since the wind is always on shore, and water is quite shallow, thus making is the perfect spot for beginners.
Our IKO instructors will follow you step by step until your can stand up on your board , and if you want to improve your technique or learn new maneuvers, what better spot than a beach where small waves alternate with flat water.
The Floripa Way
Being a Floripa guest also means practicing only with new and safe material -RRD and F-One- being guided by international and experienced instructors and have free sits and umbrellas at our beach spot! In summer we have an authorized launch corridor, so even when the beach is crowded and there are condition for enjoy your ride, there are not problems
