South Sardinia offers good wind conditions for kitesurfing all year round, with many kite spots including the best flat water spots in Europe where water is never too cold even during the winter months: Punta Trettu and Porto Botte or between the spots for wave riding of Funtanamare, Calasetta, Chia and Mari Ermi.
