Overview

In the south of Corsica, the area of Bonifacio, Figari, and Porto-Vecchio concentrates the most renowned spots on the island for kite surfing. There are often lagoons or well-protected bays, with shallow flat water at some sites, but also more chop or formed sea as you move away. Figari is known for its relatively accessible water conditions, while Tonnara or Piantarella require a better understanding of the conditions and space on the water. This area is clearly a major kite destination, with a sunny trip vibe and several schools on site, and it is essential to stay attentive to regulated zones, onshore or side-on winds depending on the spots, and the crowding during high season.
