Kitesurfing, wing foiling and foiling in Sicily

In Sicily lies Lo Stagnone, a lagoon on the west coast between Marsala and Trapani, with islands inside it. The lagoon is a nature reserve, and you may only kite from two strips of shore designated by the Marsala coastguard: at Birgi and south of the salt pans. You walk the first 100 m, and only beyond 200 m do you ride freely. There is hardly any tide, and live wind comes from Trapani Birgi airport.
