In the spring of 2001, one of the first kitesurfing schools in Central Italy was founded, which in a very short time became one of the most important.
Professionally trained instructors have ensured that hundreds of aspirants, taking advantage of the pleasure of the wind and waves, have been able to reach excellent levels, becoming, in some cases, professional athletes of national level.
After years of experience, the instructors, led by Antonio Gaudini, have refined their teaching technique by dividing the learning path into courses from basic level up to expert.
In 2010 the Kitesurfing Club Latina is the only kitesurfing center regularly registered with the FISN, the only Federation that has taken on the task through CONI of managing Kitesurfing, and the Club follows the relevant quality characteristics dictated by the Italian Kitesurf Association.
The basic course consists of 6 lessons
1) Theoretical preparation and knowledge of materials
A bit of history
The Kite, the materials and their differences
