2Water- and air temperature on Lake Garda

During the summer months, the water and outside temperature are usually very pleasant and we recommend shorties while practicing water activities.
With strong Pelèr (north wind) the water temperature can temporarily cool down a couple of degrees, so a long 3/2 wetsuit is recommended for the following day.

We provide wetsuits, helmets, shoes and lifejackets in all lengths and sizes, and for the colder months a second pair of wetsuit and gloves..

3What if there is bad weather or no wind during my course or rental period?

For every paid course or rental activity, you'll enjoy a practical session on the water - thats our 100% Wind Guarantee policy!
If the booking cannot be conducted due to bad wind or weather conditions you have three options:

  • We will issue you a voucher for any booked but uncompleted course days. This voucher is valid for two years and can be redeemed any time in our center1
  • Staying a bit longer? Perfect! We'll try to find a new slot to make up for the uncompleted course days during the remaining time of your holiday.
  • You can exchange the uncompleted course days for other activities in our watersports center. For example, if you have one day left, you can join a guided SUP tour or come wakefoiling with us.
4What else can I do when there is no wind?

It won't happen, but if it happens....

We offer activities that don't require wind. Enjoy the stunning scenery of Malcesine on our SUP's (Stand Up Paddle boards) or Kayaks. We offer lessons and guided excursions and also SUP Yoga!

In case you just want to chill, our center features a restaurant and a bar. So simply relax on the sun beds on our private beach with an Aperol Spritz!

Besides spending time in our watersports center, Malcesine offers a wide variety of activities. Read more here.

5Which safety services to you provide during watersports activities?

We have a rescue service operated by motorboat for rapid assistance available during our opening times. Our rescue team supervises the action on the water closely and is always in radio contact with our instructors and the team in the office.

We reserve the right to charge a rescue fee for collecting equipment of unexperienced riders. Thank you for your understanding.

During our kitesurfing sessions, we use GPS/SOS trackers to ensure maximum safety and real-time location tracking.

6Do you have a restaurant and a relax zone?
We offer a in-house restaurant and bar for you to enjoy after an active day on the water. You can relax and refuel with a delicious variety of meals and beverages on our private beach, under the shade of olive trees.
7Am I too old for kitesurfing?
Kitesurfing is an action-packed sport that every active person can learn. The assumption that you need a lot of strength for kitesurfing is false, as you basically don't hold the kite with your arms, but instead wear a harness which distributes the power of the kite on your body weight - fun for young and old!
8In which languages are your courses conducted?

Our lessons are primarily conducted in German, Italian and English. However, we also have instructors who are fluent in French, Dutch, Spanish, and Russian as well.
