Navene
Italie · Veneto
Navene, on the east shore of Lake Garda, is a well-known spot for many kiters due to its thermal winds and access from the Malcesine area. It is a practical lake spot, with a sporty atmosphere and regular attendance during the season.
The launch is from a small pebble beach, with sometimes limited space to rig and launch. The spot is mainly appreciated by riders who are already comfortable in a lake environment, as the water surface and access require staying clean and organized.

At Navene, the dominant exploitable wind is generally side-shore to side-on, depending on the thermal direction of the day. Local sources describe a possible launch from the east shore of Lake Garda, with a short launch area and a spot designed for already autonomous kiters. The site is active mainly between February and October, with frequent use during the day when the thermal sets in.
The water surface is that of a lake, so without tide, with navigation varying mainly according to the time and strength of the thermal. Available reports indicate often choppy water in the morning, which can become more flat afterwards, which corresponds well to the classic functioning of Lake Garda spots. The main navigation area is offshore from the small local beach, and access is more comfortable for riders who know how to manage a short takeoff and an environment sometimes cluttered by site activity. Local schools and clubs often facilitate the launch, confirming that the spot is operated with organized management.
