Windsurfers are crazy. And I'm one of them. This was clearly shown by my last trip to Cannes Palm Beach (France), on Sunday, December 21st.
The Engadine is a guarantee! In a time, when ready tracks in the Alps are still few, for lack of snow, the Swiss valley gave us a beautiful day of cross-country skiing between Sils and Silvaplana.

I tried the spot of Vindicio (Formia) on a tipical summer day (August 14, 2013). I got into water from Lido Risorgimento (a beach resort), near which there is the "Circolo Windsurf Formia" (but you can start also from the other windsurf clubs there are this long beach).
The spot of Pra de la Fam, at Tignale, on Garda Lake, is one of the best spot of the lake where you can ride with the Peler, the typical morning thermal wind, or with foehn winds from the North. We tried it, and we were immediately well impressed by its characteristics.
