Other terms and notes

Rules and Conditions for school, courses and services: Time and place of meeting: The only starting time for lessons is 7.45 am (unless special agreements are made with Kite School), with cars already parked, breakfast done, any kite equipment ready for those who use their own during the course (with lines connected for launching from the boat). For this reason it is advisable to arrive at least 15 minutes before, so no later than 7.30 am. The meeting place is at Univela Hotel in Campione del Garda at the Kite Meeting Point (Ask to reception). Winds and duration of lessons: On the Garda there are 2 types of winds: PELER wind that blows from North to South and rises at 8.00 and lasts on average until 11.00 with an intensity from 15 to 25 knots and the hour that blows from south to north and can rise from 1.00 pm onwards (sometimes even at 15.00) until late afternoon around 5.00 pm - 6.00 pm with an average intensity from 15 to 20 knots. The kite lesson in water lasts 1 hour per student for group lessons even if it is intended as an integral part of the practical lesson when the other students are in the water and the part in which is practiced on the beach for the preparation of the equipment. There is not always wind both morning and afternoon. For this reason in case of no wind in the morning the lesson is moved to 1.00 pm and time is used in the morning for possible in-depth analysis of theory or practice on the beach. Kite lessons: Since the beach is not wide enough, kitesurfing lessons on all of Lake Garda are carried out completely by boat (rubber dinghies school). For this reason a good part of the course takes place on boats, often waiting for the wind also part of the theory. Our lessons take place in groups of up to 3 people per boat and per instructor. Students enter the water and are followed individually one by one by the instructor thus guaranteeing high quality and a high standard of education. In this way the student will be able to learn by observing the other students of course that will be indicatively at the same level. What to bring: We recommend wetsuits in April, May, June, and October with a thickness of at least 5 mm integral. In July and August a 3 mm wetsuit is enough whole wheat. In the absence of your own wetsuit we will provide you with one from the school. It is always advisable to have a wind or windproof jacket for waiting on the boat. You we also recommend bringing a towel, a slip-on costume to keep under the wetsuit, flip-flops and water to take in the boat for longer periods warm. Before dressing with a wetsuit for the start of the lesson, we recommend using the toilet in school. Payment: First deposit 15% when you book the services to Bstoked. Second deposit 35% a few days after booking directly to the Host. The balance of the course / lesson must be paid in the morning the first day, entirely before the start of the lesson (s). In school we accept cash payments, with credit card or debit card.
