Besser Kitesurfen am Gardasee. Bei Stickl mit Profis und Funkschulung

Stickl Sports Camp

"We consistently focus on quality when it comes to kiteboarding instruction. In the following we would like to give you important information about our kitesurfing school, the training conditions, the equipment and our program."

Kitesurfing on Lake Garda:

Everyone knows that there are only a few beaches on Lake Garda. So kiting is not the right sport for Lake Garda after all?
We think so, because first and foremost the wind conditions are important!
And there is certainly not much to discuss about the wind conditions. Hardly any other spot offers more wind safety !

On Lake Garda you can kite almost every day!

But how do you start when there are few beaches?

A fair question. We already made a virtue out of necessity in our first year and in 2001 the Boat training developed! Launching from the trainer boat has become an optimal solution:

Already on the first day of the course, the students practice for several hours in the water with the kite, drifting downwind near the trainer boat during fug exercises - always under the control of the kite instructor, who gives his instructions via radio communication.
The way back to windward is done by boat, comfortable and fast - no walking along the beach!
The risk of accidents is zero! While there have always been accidents during flight exercises on land or on the beach in many schools, we can be proud after 20 years of practice that we have not yet had to complain of any injuries!
And we always kite where the wind is perfect! By boat taxi to the right spot!

And there are even more good reasons to choose Stickl Sportcamp!

Our kitesurfing school has evolved from the sports camp with 40 years of experience in surfing, sailing and cat sailing and is based on this experience and routine and the existing infrastructure.

Since 2001 we are the first VDWS approved kitesurfing school on the lake of Garda.

Perfect logistics and organization is cool too!

Changing rooms and hot showers.
Space for dry training and kite building in the hotel area.
Training room with video and TV for training videos.
Launch simulator boat
Kite trainer boats with new 4-stroke engines.
Training with helmet and radio.
Maximum training time on the water in groups of maximum 4 students per instructor.

100 % wind guarantee can't be found anywhere!
If water sessions are cancelled due to lack of wind, they will first be replaced by sessions such as waterstart simulator, wakeboarding or theory if required. If more than 50 % of water sessions are cancelled, they will be reimbursed by voucher.

The new BEACH HOTEL ROSA on the beach next to the sports camp centre is the perfect location for kiters. Breakfast before the morning session, changing rooms in the hotel, kite storage and the shuttle boat launch directly in front of the hotel make all the difference.
In combination with hotels of different categories and price ranges near the sports centre, we offer further alternatives in the immediate vicinity of the sports camp.

The course participants and the coaching team meet at the sports office for a welcome drink and briefing.
Dry training and theoretical preparation take place in the training tent.
Nach der Praxis „Session“ freut man sich auf eine heiße Dusche, eine vernünftige Umkleide und je nach Temperatur auf ein Warm-Up bei Cappuccino und Latte Macchiato oder ein Erfrischungsgetränk an der Bar.

Wie Ihr seht, bieten wir mehr als eine Internetpräsenz und eine Handynummer, wie so mancher „Wilde“ am Gardasee, ohne festen Standort, rechtlichen Genehmigungen und damit ohne Versicherungsschutz.
