🏖️ The Spot
Torbole at Lake Garda is a windsurfer's dream, blessed with steady winds in the afternoons. The thermal wind typically starts around 1pm and quickly increases up to 10 to 20 knots. It often stays windy until 5pm. Nestled between steep mountains, the wind accelerates along the lake and becomes the strongest in Torbole.
Occasionally you can also get wind in the morning between 6 and 10am.
✅ Easy entry, blue water, safe and shorts weather: A windsurfing paradise.
🛫 Travel & Gear
We will be by your side with all information about travel and help with arrangements.
Travel: If you travel by air the best airport to travel to will be Milano. From there you can rent a car. If you are from Europe you can travel with your car.
Gear: The hub for our clinic is the Paradiso Hotel. If you bring your own equipment, you can store it at the hotel, right behind the beach. My Surfshop Surfcenter can provide you with rental gear. Please contact me directly for rental deals.

I’m looking forward to a week full of learnings, memories and action with you!
