how to get around at the pond
You have 2 options, if you come for a full immersion of kiting you might as well not move and live between the school and the b&b, but the best option is still to rent a car or moped. You will have the opportunity to visit Marsala in the evening, or move around all of Western Sicily-a wonderful opportunity to see the most beautiful beaches and why not cultural sites as well.

FAQ ABOUT KITESURFING COURSES
AFTER THE BASIC COURSE: IKO LEVEL
At the stagnone, learning kitesurfing is definitely easier than elsewhere. The fact that you can always touch with your own feet even hundreds of meters away from the coast really puts everyone at ease. Not to mention that you don’t need to waste time on unnecessary body drag to pick up the board if you fall into the water, all of which avoids unnecessary wasted time.
To say exactly what level is reached after the basic course a priori is difficult because it depends so much on the personal attitude that each of us has.
Certainly you get to the starting attempts with the board and a good percentage also get to the first edges independently with kitesurfing.
If the wind is not enough to finish the kitesurfing course?
on the off chance that there is no wind to finish the course you will only pay for the hours actually spent on the water.
