Kitesurfing in Tuscany

Tuscany is a real treat for your eye, soul, for the palate and good for biking and for sure for kiting! Tuscany also includes 328 km of coastline with beautiful bays and fine sandy beaches. There are now many cheap flight connections to Pisa and Florence. Due to local thermal wind, it usually builds up around noon from June to September and until sunset. Most of the time, the wind blows sideways from the right (north) to a 1000 m long, fine sandy beach. The standing area is around 50 - 100 across the entire width of the beach. The beautiful kite area is very well done. Not to mention the excellent cuisine for which Tuscany is known anyway.

Overall, Follonica is a fantastic kitesurf spot with favorable wind conditions, a spacious beach, and shallow waters. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced kitesurfer, Follonica offers an excellent setting to enjoy the sport and explore the beautiful coastline of Tuscany.

Capalbio is the last town in Tuscany before the Lazio border, a hilltop borgo with Etruscan roots and a ring of medieval walls that are still mostly intact. The kiting happens down on the coast, on the long sandy beach in front of the Lago di Burano — a brackish coastal lagoon held back from the Tyrrhenian by a double line of dunes, and the first WWF reserve established in Italy. The spot is known for two things: open-sea riding off a wide, largely undeveloped beach, and the fact that almost nothing has been built on this stretch of coast. For decades the borgo itself has been an August fixture for Roman politicians, writers and assorted intelligentsia, which is why Italians still call it, half-joking, the radical-chic town. None of that reaches the water. What you get on the beach is wind off the Tyrrhenian, chop, and space.
