Why Sardinia is top kite
Sardinia is Italy's #1 kite destination. The southwest (Porto Botte, Punta Trettu) concentrates most of the scene with its huge shallow lagoon, thermal wind and mistral blowing 20-30 knots April to October, 25 days/month in season. The north (Porto Pollo, Capo Testa) offers more technical wave spots. The south (Chia, Villasimius) combines paradise beaches and afternoon thermals. Cagliari and Poetto for rare European urban kiting.
