Lo Stagnone combines the conditions that matter for effective learning: flat water, a vast and mostly shallow lagoon, and wind supported by local thermal effects. KiteTherapy offers:

- continuation courses after previous training,
- advanced coaching with BBTalkin radio and video analysis.
Kitesurfing courses and coaching in Sicily
Every course begins with a short assessment of your ability and goals. This avoids unnecessary repetition and focuses each session on the skills that will make the biggest difference to your progress.
Beginner kitesurfing course
You will learn safety procedures, equipment setup, kite control, body dragging, board recovery and your first board starts. The goal is confident, responsible and independent riding.
Refresher lessons and continued progression
We resume from the point where your previous course ended. Your instructor works on stance, kite control, water starts, upwind riding and transitions.
Advanced kitesurfing coaching
We can focus on jumps, freestyle, big air or a specific manoeuvre. BBTalkin radio coaching lets the instructor give immediate feedback on the water, while video analysis makes technical corrections clear after the session.

Why learn kitesurfing at Lo Stagnone?
The lack of large waves makes it easier to focus on the kite and board. Shallow water across most of the lagoon helps the instructor stay close and respond quickly. Beginners can build strong foundations, while independent riders can use the flat water for focused technical training. KiteTherapy’s Sicily season runs from 15 April to 30 October 2027.
