Overview

Santa Giusta is a unique kitesurf spot on the lagoon of the same name, near Oristano on the west coast of Sardinia. The lagoon offers perfectly flat water, making it ideal for freestyle, foil training and light wind sessions. The Maestrale (northwest) is the dominant wind. The lagoon is a protected natural area and important habitat for flamingos and other migratory birds, giving the spot an extraordinary natural setting. Best experienced outside the main nesting season.
