Grado is a beautiful village, in the Adriatic coast of Friuli Venezia Giulia (Italy), located at the mouth of the homonymous lagoon. The spot offers freestyle and wave conditions, but requires the knowledge of some basic information before the session, because it is a bit special spot.

I tried the spot of Silvaplana (Engadine, Switzerland) in August 2011, and many more times after that. Lake Silvaplana, as well the nearby Lake Sils, during the summer months, allow you to enjoy very pleasant windsurfing sessions, at high altitude, on flat water, in a truly exciting setting. The spots are suitable for different disciplines: freeriding, freestyle, slalom, and foil.
Beyond being a beautiful Ligurian town, Noli is a spot rather popular among windsurfers. With North-East and East winds, the spot works better, and offers relative security. The Tramontana enters very gusty, and the spot, with some precautions, is still quite safe compared to other places on the Ligurian coast, where, for example, the Tramontana enters offshore (e.g. Genova-Voltri).
The beach of Porto Ferro, in the Province of Sassari, in the North West of Sardinia, is located in a very wide and wild bay. The local Gian Lorenzo Loria sent us this interesting review.

In late April, taking advantage of some holiday days, I decided, even if I was alone, to give me a week of windsurfing. After evaluating several options in Italy (Lake Garda, Sicily) and abroad (Canary Islands) I opted for the nearby Sardinia, reachable from Milan in just an hour's flight and at very affordable prices (round-trip flight just more than 40 €). I went to the Windsurfing Club Sa Barra. Landed in Cagliari, I was greeted by a nice Mistral, which fortunately has followed me all the way.
