My experience with Wind Riders at Limone sul Garda, Italy, July 2010

This year I wanted to go on holiday and I wanted to learn to kitesurf. So I decided to combine the two in one holiday. The ‘problem’ was that I can’t get anyone else to come with me. After contacting Maayke and reading the website of Wind Riders I decided to go all alone.

Maayke arranged everything for me after my decision to go kiting with Wind Riders at Lake Garda, including my stay at camping Nanzel. Camping Nanzel is a really great camping, direct at the lake. It was a few hundred meters walk to the Wind Riders kite centre and the Cherenquito beachbar was in the middle of that walk, so it was perfect!

The kitesurfing cursus was also very well organised. My instructors, Maayke, Stephano and Rintsje are all very nice people and experienced kiters. They have teached me a lot! My fellow students where great! It was a nice group and after kiting we often go for a drink at the Cherenquito beachbar and after that we go out to eat something together. After my four day course I was able to kitesurf independent. I received my IKO certificate and I now have a good basis to continue kitesurfing here in Holland. For sure that I will do that, because kitesurfing is very addictive, it really is super to ride the wind and control your kite! I can recommend everyone to go to Limone sul Garda and go kiting with Wind Riders. It is a great place and the people are really nice and experienced.

Even if you’re alone, you will meet lots of other people there to hang out with! I will be back there sometime!

Greetings, Jeroen Ansink Holland

    Leuk stukje tekst,
    Ik wil er volgende week heen maar vraag me af of je vanaf de kant kan starten? Hoe diep is het daar eigenlijk en is het erg druk in de zomer

    Bedankt

    Hi Pascal,

    Het kite gebeurt vanuit bootjes. Het meer is ongeveer 300 meter diep. Druk is het op de spot waar wij kiten eigenlijk niet.
    zo’n 30 maximaal.

    Met vriendelijke groet, Mika
