Kitesurfing, wing foiling and foiling on Lake Garda
Lake Garda lies at the foot of the Alps, narrow between the mountains in the north and wide in the south, and the rules differ from shore to shore. In Trentino, at Torbole and Riva, you may only wing and windsurf from the shore, and kite only with a lift from a boat. On the Venetian east shore, kiting is only allowed from a municipal kite area, such as the club strip at Navene. There is no tide, and because the lake is enclosed, Windulu warns about offshore wind instead of giving a no-go.
