Kitesurfing along the coast of Friuli Venezia Giulia

The Coast of Friuli Venezia Giulia is one of the most sought after destinations by kitesurfing enthusiasts, who love riding the waves balancing on their boards, which are tethered to a kite propelled by the wind.
At the first whiff of wind the call of the sea becomes irresistible for both local kitesurfers as well as the ones coming from other Italian regions and neighbouring Austria and Slovenia. They gather on the shore even in cold weather, challenging each other in a display of highly skilled freestyle performances and daring stunts.
The reliable and predictable winds, the safety of the shallow waters, and the professionalism of the local sports associations - who promote the uptake of kitesurfing by offering customised lessons for adults and children alike and year-round equipment rental - are a few of the many reasons that have turned the Coast of Friuli Venezia Giulia into an ideal kitesurfing destination.
Three destinations in particular stand out in the eyes of wind sports enthusiasts - namely Grado, Marina Julia and Lignano Sabbiadoro – each with its own character.
