The wind guarantee

Its strong point is its natural conformation: two long beaches that meet forming an isthmus that connects theGull Island.
The beaches are exposed to different winds so, depending on where the wind blows, there is always a suitable spot for training.
The beaches (Porto Puddu and Liscia beach) are long, wide with coarse-grained sand, golden and attractive. L'water is crystal clear and in the background enchanting views and Mediterranean scrub.
No problem for beginners: the two seas are enclosed by bays, so you can practice sports safely, schools offer a rescue service by rubber dinghy and you don't feel “abandoned” in the waves.
For the experts, Daniele assures me who works at Sporting Club Sardinia, the school offers the best equipment of the year, new boards and competent assistance.
