Kitesurfing in Emilia-Romagna
11 spots · 2 destinations · 8 schools
Ten beaches string along Emilia-Romagna's Adriatic coast, most of them working spring and autumn rather than peak summer.
Marina di Ravenna, home to the IKO-affiliated Adriatico Wind Club, splits between gustier, wavier NE Bora and a warmer, steadier SE breeze, while wavebreakers 250 metres offshore keep Punta Marina's Baloo Beach flat. Further south, 39 Beach in Rimini catches SE Scirocco waves up to two metres on its wide sand beach.
Emilia-Romagna holds 11 kitesurf spots in our atlas, grouped into 2 destinations. Riding here is mostly flat water. The season runs March to December.
8 of them suits beginners. 8 schools operate in the region. The busiest areas are Emilia-Romagna — Cattolica Circolo Nautico to 39 Beach Rimini and Ravenna coast.
