About the spot

Granelli near Pachino is a long sandy beach with a managed kite base. The school identifies west, southwest and southeast winds and particularly uses it in winter. Shallower water and wave zones lie close together, requiring appropriate separation of riding levels.

Use the beach base rather than neighbouring lagoons. Beginners should book lessons in suitable conditions. Independent riders need to confirm seasonal access, surf and recovery arrangements. A long beach does not authorise rigging anywhere among swimmers.
