About this spot

Punta Trettu is one of Europe’s premier kite spots, featuring a shallow channel and lagoon-like environment that creates one of the continent's most famous flat water progression zones. The spot is characterized by very flat, shallow water and an active community centered on freeride, freestyle, and beginner training. The main season runs from March to October, with wind typically delivered by the Mistral, Scirocco, and local thermal effects. Beyond the riding, the spot offers a complete infrastructure including kite schools, rentals, parking, nearby restaurants, and school-led rescue services. While ideal for everyone from beginners to advanced freestyle riders, daily conditions vary based on tides, wind strength, and crowd levels. Riders should be mindful of shallow depths, sea grass, and restricted zones.
