Why local advice is irreplaceable
Salento conditions are unique. Between the north Tramontana that kicks up a short chop and the southeast Scirocco that brings a long swell, every wind configuration requires a different setup. Only local experts master these subtleties.
A customer who buys a kite too light for our coastal winds risks not enjoying half of their vacation. Our role is to ensure that every euro invested turns into water time.
