Overview

Foddini is a kitesurf spot on the east coast of Sardinia, in the Ogliastra region between Tortolì and Arbatax. The spot benefits from the northeast thermal sea breeze in the afternoon and the Maestrale (northwest), as well as the Levante (southeast). The Ogliastra coastline is one of the wildest and most dramatic on the island, with spectacular limestone cliffs and turquoise water. A hidden gem for riders looking to explore the lesser-known east coast of Sardinia.
