Hazards

Shallow flat water requires awareness of sandbars and sudden depth changesSouthern European summer heat and sun exposure with minimal shadeOccasional strong thermal winds can create sudden gusts in afternoon sessionsRocky outcrops and submerged obstacles near the shoreline

Launch notes

Launching is straightforward from the flat water beach with consistent SSE/SE winds. The protected flat water setup minimizes chop, making it ideal for beginners to learn body dragging and board starts.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 13-17m kites for the light average winds (7.9 kts); larger freestyle/freeride boards or twin-tips suit flat water progression. Consider a slightly larger quiver to maximize light wind days.

Clothing · Spring/fall sessions require 3/2mm wetsuit; winter (Jan-Feb) benefits from 4/3mm or thicker protection. Summer months (Jun-Aug) allow rash guards only, though sun protection is essential.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect the designated beginner zones and maintain distance from swimmers in summer months. Feniglia is a shared beach space—keep sessions downwind of other water users and maintain awareness of local swimming areas.

Additional notes

Best winds arrive in spring (Mar-Apr) and autumn (Oct-Nov); summer is lighter and less reliable for progression. Check local beach conditions before visiting, as Feniglia can become crowded with tourists during peak season.
