Reunion Kite Academy offers the first Sit’n’Wing course in Italy dedicated to people with disabilities.
It is a structured yet highly customizable program, designed to adapt to different physical needs, levels of experience, and any individual challenges of the student.
The goal is to provide the skills needed to safely manage equipment, environment, and navigation, guiding the student toward progressive independence on the water.
Each phase of the course—from onshore preparation to water sessions—is tailored to the individual, with a strong focus on safety, risk management, and the development of personal abilities.
• Risk and issue assessment
• Equipment analysis and customization
• Onshore session: equipment handling, self-rescue, environmental assessment, first control exercises
• Shallow water session: equipment handling and board practice
• Sessione a terra, montaggio, analisi e trasporto attrezzature
• Sessione in acqua con barca, primi pilotaggi con tavola gonfiabile e foil, navigazione al lasco e self rescue
• Rientro in spiaggia in autonomia
• Onshore session: independent launch
• Water session with boat support: upwind riding and tacks, return to the beach with self-rescue or an electric foil session
TESTED EQUIPMENT
The course is conducted using special equipment designed and tested by us!
COMMUNICATION
You will always be in contact with your instructor through the use of two-way radio helmets.
Yes, the spot is also selected based on accessibility. We always assess the conditions and, when necessary, adapt the water entry procedures to ensure maximum safety and ease of access.
Yes, there are accessible facilities and showers available nearby on the beach.
Yes, accessible accommodations are available at Univela, with accessible bathrooms and a private accessible shower. Nursing support can also be arranged on-site if requested in advance.
No need to worry—we’re covered by insurance. Just don’t go breaking all the wings now that you know, okay!
If you’re a natural at water sports, even better for you! Our lessons follow a structured teaching program, while remaining flexible and customizable. If you learn very quickly, we’ll be able to cover more within each lesson.
In caso di maltempo, cerchiamo di avvisarvi appena siamo consapevoli delle condizioni meteo per non farvi fare un viaggio inutile. Se foste già a Campione, vi teniamo in attesa in prossimità della scuola sperando che il meteo cambi (a volte gioca strani scherzi!) – Nel caso in cui non ci sia proprio chance di fare lezione, riprogrammiamo la lezione nel primo slot disponibile (per voi, e per noi)
If there’s no wind, we’ll keep you waiting near the school and hope the conditions improve (it can be unpredictable!). If there’s absolutely no chance of wind, we’ll reschedule the lesson for the first available slot (for both you and us).
Yes. As with all amateur sports activities, a valid non-competitive medical certificate (not older than 6 months) is required to participate in the lessons.
You can download it here and have it filled out by your general practitioner.
Unfortunately, the lesson boat works like a bus. When it leaves, it leaves. The lesson start time is indicated for each course. We kindly ask you to be punctual and, if possible, arrive early (meeting time is 30 minutes before the boat departs).
Bring everything you’d need for a day at the lake! Sunglasses (preferably with a strap), a towel, flip-flops, swimwear, water, and sunscreen are essential. Porta anche tanta pazienza in caso il vento si facesse attendere!
We offer kitesurfing and wing foil lessons in Italian, English, and Portuguese.
Learning wing foiling is faster because it allows you to get on the water independently much sooner than kitesurfing. Once you’ve learned the basics, however, the progression curve in kitesurfing is much faster than in wing foiling.
For each session, the instructor can take up to a maximum of 3 students. However, lessons are conducted individually (one student in the water at a time). Your friends can cheer you on from the boat before their turn.
