Spiaggia di Su Pilastru
Italie · Sardinia
Su Pilastru, in Santa Margherita di Pula, is a spot on the southwest coast of Sardinia appreciated for its long beaches and easy access from the Pula area. The area is exposed and offers a very pleasant setting for kitesurfing when the wind is good.
It features a rather natural environment, with an open beach facing the sea and little shelter in the navigation area. This spot is mainly suitable for riders comfortable with coastal conditions and looking for a clean session near Cagliari.

The spot works best with wind from the NW to W, often in side-shore or side-on depending on the exact orientation of the flow. When the wind is well established, one can kitesurf on a fairly clean water surface offshore from the beach, with a direct launch area from the sand. The beach offers few obstacles, but it is important to keep space for takeoff and landing, as the area can quickly become crowded in season.
The water surface mainly depends on the wind strength and the sea state of the day. In moderate winds, one often finds relatively regular water with some chop. When the wind picks up or swell comes in, the area becomes more agitated, and takeoff may require good control of the kite. The spot remains more comfortable with a low tide, as the Mediterranean has a weak influence on water level here. Navigation is mainly done offshore, avoiding staying too close to the shore when the wind becomes gusty.
Launching is done from the beach, with a careful organization of the inflation and preparation area to avoid disturbing swimmers in high season. Experienced riders will appreciate the width of the site and the possibility to quickly head towards deeper water. Beginners may find space, but it is important to stay vigilant as the spot can become technical when the wind is strong and irregular.
