A low, brackish lagoon opens ahead: glassy water at shin-to-waist depth, a ribbon of shallow sandbars and the dark silhouette of Mozia island on the horizon. The wind teases the surface, building steady power without the ocean’s chop — perfect terrain for a first day on a kite. In a semi-private lesson with a 2:1 student-to-instructor ratio, beginners move through safety checks, body-dragging, board starts and short rides under close supervision.
