Kite Salento A.S.D.

KITE SALENTO is a young company born from the passion for the sea .

This is why we like to define ourselves as a "school of the sea" , through which we can spread the culture of the sea by addressing young people, but not only.

As a sports center we are associated with the Unione Sport per Tutti, a body also recognized by the Italian National Olympic Committee.

Our design idea is based on the idea that our goal must be to offer our customers higher quality services, which implies on the one hand fewer courses to open the doors to personalized lessons adapted to each individual person .

This planning distinguishes us from many other schools. In fact, you will receive a high following from us, and numerous services will be made available to you.

This is why we organize courses of different types and levels that allow a gradual approach to the disciplines.

We mainly organize knowledge of:

• Sailing , through which you will be able to manage this ancient navigation tool.

• Kitesurf , brand new discipline similar to surfing, but with a more agile board.
• Stand up paddle , an activity suitable even for less sporty people as it allows you to develop balance control.
• Wave surfing , the classic of classic sea sports.

Convinced that sport is essential to train not only the body, but also the mind, we support young people in their sporting growth by stimulating them to take part in amateur championships.

The puddle surfing also called stand up puddle, from the upright position that one must maintain to steer the board with a paddle, is a sport that draws its origins from the navigation system used by the Polynesians to move around and observed as early as the eighteenth century by some English explorers.

Contributing to the spread of this practice seems to have been one of the first beachboys in the 1950s, who began to use a paddle to be able to surf the surf and take pictures. This new way of surfing did not spread immediately, but it confirmed itself as a new discipline, renamed beachboy surfing.

The fascinating history of this sport makes it truly fascinating, and its spread in recent years has been incredible. A sport that can be practiced by everyone, stand up puddle stimulates balance and increases physical strength without requiring excessive effort on the body.

An excellent alternative for those who want to keep fit even in summer, taking advantage of the possibilities that this board with paddle allows.

In fact it can be used to take long walks in the sea and to have fun in the waves. It also brings numerous benefits to the posture, since the surfer must lead the paddle in an upright position.
