Secondly September is extra summer season than autumn with heat sunny days and really heat water temperature.
As soon as I received out, I discovered the seaside to nonetheless be fairly busy. The San Teodoro space, the place I used to be based mostly, appeared to not endure from the journey recommendation and restrictions that had been laid throughout Europe. Some store had actually busy seasons.
Seaside goers and Kitesurfers had been additionally current in full pressure. I do know that point of the yr properly having been the race director at an occasion which used to run on the final week finish of September. I bear in mind the seaside crowds and light-weight wind situations too properly.
The one days that yielded stronger situations had been Mistral winds .
Being on the East Coast meant that I needed to trek throughout to search out higher situations for the North West wind. I ended up in Mari Ermi for what was in all probability the strongest wind I had the entire time I used to be in Sardinia this yr. My smallest kite was a 9m Wave and I used to be lit! Sadly the wind was tremendous gusty so it was arduous to throw correct powered loops which is one in all my favorite exercise when kiting in these sort of situations.
October
The month of October led to extra wind and fewer seaside goers. Kiters had been nonetheless plentiful, however with extra space to work with on the seashores, it was extra satisfying.
I frequented Posada seaside a good quantity and likewise lastly received to exit at La Cinta throughout a memorable 4 days of Scirocco wind (SE).
La Cinta appears to be like nice however for my part isn’t the very best place to exit wind smart. Nevertheless the kiters flock, particularly foreigners, and likewise the curious seaside goers.
As standard, with the crowds come issues.
Sadly a board I used to be borrowing simply vanished whereas I used to be finding out a kite subject on the seaside. After a lot looking, I needed to come to the conclusion that somebody simply took it. I want to hope that it wasn’t one other kiter, however whoever it was could the Karma police discover you.
On the primary day, nice photographer Manu Borsato got here to the seaside and received a number of cool pics.
Discovering new spots
Off season is nice in Sardinia. Much less vacationers, and extra spots! Some spots could be out of bounds in the course of summer season as they might be coated with most cancers looking for sunbathers and locked up in regulation and policing. As soon as the crowds vanish, nobody appears to care. Listed here are a number of pics from spots that may stay anonymous for now.
November storms
November introduced colder temperatures but additionally stronger winds from the North, North East. On the East Coast it means some wave exercise too. Positive it ain’t the ocean, nevertheless it was sufficient to have some enjoyable. I received to discover another spots and at last discovered empty seashores and open water. Virtually felt like residence.
Aesthetically Sardinia is gorgeous and has a lot selection to supply. Kiteboarding situation smart it’s method higher out of season. Sardinia in Autumn has stronger winds to supply with the Southerlies being the steadier. Nevertheless, I’m a troublesome buyer to please coming from Kiteboarding Paradise…
