KITESURFING COURSES & LESSONS IN LO STAGNONE, SICILY
PRICES AND INFORMATION
WHAT MAKES KITE LAB EXCEPTIONAL IN LO STAGNONE SPOT?
ALL THE FOLLOWING POINTS COMBINED:
Over the years in Sicily we have established not only a well organized school that provides everything what is needed for kitesurfing vacations, but also we have earned the trust and satisfaction of our guests, who often return season after season, reward us with good ratings and recommend the school to others.
We have also built partnerships with a number of travel agencies and kitesurfing associations, what can only work when students are happy and confirm their satisfaction.
On top of that:
WE HAVE THE GOOD SPOT
Our base is centrally located in Lo Stagnone spot, which is convenient not only for proximity to the spot infrastructure (such as beachbars, accommodation or access to utilities), but also this part of the shore faces the water of optimal depth and is best situated in relation to the most often wind directions. For kitesurfing activity this is of great importance.
YOU PAY ONLY FOR THE LESSONS YOU’VE HAD
We know very well that the common practice of buying full course packages and having unused hours transferred to another season doesn’t always satisfy students.
You did fewer hours than planned, you chose a trip instead of kiting, there was no wind, or you just didn’t catch the bug?
We have the policy – you pay at the end for what you’ve done, no need to buy a full course or hourly package in advance.
WE GO ONLY WITH GOOD WIND CONDITIONS
There is no way we use the course hours standing in the water and waiting for the wind, or pretending that it’s there.
WE USE WALKIE-TALKIE
WE USE NEW 2025 DUOTONE GEAR
The quality of the equipment is a big issue for us. Anyone who has an insight into the subject of kite equipment, or who already rides independently and rents equipment from us, knows.
Duotone is a top kitesurfing brand. We have a big number of kites of different Duotone models in a full size range, so we never compromise on the selection of equipment for lessons – it must be perfectly suited to the conditions.
The kites are new, year 2023. Who visits us in the first weeks of the season, enjoys unpacking the equipment and being the first to use it.
KITESURFING LESSONS IN SICILY – INFO
- We strive for a common goal – to make you a fully independent kitesurfer.
- Our kitesurfing courses are adapted to the level of your skills.
- If you’re new to kitesurfing, we go step by step according to the chart below.
- If you are not a beginner, you discuss your goals directly with your instructor, you two decide from which moment of training you continue and, if need be, you fill in the gaps or correct bad habits.
- A single lesson normally lasts 2 hours.
- Once you have booked lessons with our school, you are automatically included in the schedule for each subsequent day of your stay (we arrange the schedule from day to day, basing on the latest wind forecast). By default, the student receives one 2-hour slot per day.
- It is possible to do a longer lesson, but please ask for it the day before (we try to be as flexible as possible, but we need a little notice for requests, so we can prepare the schedule accordingly).
- If you want to take two lessons during a day (with a break in between), and if it’s possible taking into account the forecast and the school occupancy, please inform us the day before.
- If for any reason you stop the lesson earlier, or it’s terminated due to changing wind conditions, we charge only for the actual duration of the lesson, rounded up every half an hour.
- If you would like to take a break in the course, despite good wind forecast, we will also be grateful for information the day before.
- We do not conduct group kitesurfing courses, because we think that it is a waste of your time and money. We train individually or in pair.
- During pair lessons, we use one kite (students change every approx 15 mins) as long as both students are not independent enough to hold one kite each (after all, there is one instructor. Safety is the concern here).
- We value consistency in teaching, as the teacher gets to know you during the lessons. That’s why we try to keep the instructor unchanged while we schedule lessons, unless the student asks else wise.
- We issue IKO certificates, if requested (the cost of IKO certificate is 10 euros).
- All necessary accessories are provided and included in the price. Kite, board, bar – of course, but also harness, wetsuit, helmet and other.
- Every year we change our kites, boards and bars, so our students get to learn not only with the top brand gear, but also the newest.
- A few tips about what is useful to have (it’s mainly about clothes) – HERE (practical information – clothing checklist).

KITE FOIL LESSONS IN LO STAGNONE
New! We propose kite foil lessons, in the same price as regular kite lessons.

THE FOLLOWING TABLE SHOWS THE PROGRAM OF OUR KITESURFING COURSES IN SICILY FROM THE BASICS:
Level 1
- wind theory and safety briefing,
- equipment preparation,
- entering the water (still during the first lesson) and learning how to control the beast kite,
- water re-launch,
- body dragging – getting to know the strength of a kite, its trajectory and the power of the great wind,
- starting to split attention between the kite and the board,
- water starts (without and with the board),
- first ridden distances and spectacular crushes,
- self rescue.
After approx 6 hours the student already knows what kind of sport he is dealing with, controls the kite and knows what challenges are to be faced.
Level 2
- to the points above we add intensive work on the proper water start and decreasing the number of crushes,
- riding in both directions at a controlled distance,
- correcting the body position while riding,
- speed controlling,
- stopping correctly,
- first transition attempts (sometimes successful already at this stage).
After approx 9 hours a certain level of independence can be achieved.
Level 3
- to the points above we add returning to the starting point and what is most important – riding upwind (also with light wind),
- free riding at a distance limited only by common sense. Sometimes at this point the instructor takes a kite for himself and rides with the student, both in touch (through the radio) for all the time,
- developing high speed,
- kite launch from the shore and landing on the shore,
- mastering the proper body position,
- mastering transitions without getting the butt wet,
- if the student has the wish and feels ready – first jumps.
After approx 12 hours it is likely to gain independence, control and self-confidence while kiting.
