With the arrival of summer, did you feel like learning kitesurfing? Great. My advice is obviously to start attending a good kitesurf course because it is the most effective way to approach this sport (if you want you can read kitesurfing how to start: 10 things to know to learn kitesurfing ).
Here is the complete list of all the kitesurf schools in Tuscany that are really many, so you will not be spoiled for choice.
My advice is, unless you already know an instructor who has your full confidence, to contact a couple and talk directly with the instructor. If you have the opportunity to attend a lesson, look at the spot in which he teaches and try to choose the school that seems best suited to your needs .
In addition to this you can for example check if the school you want to attend belongs to some organization or association. The most common are IKO and FIV :
IKO International Kiteboarding Organization is the leading international organization specializing in the teaching of kitesurfing
FIV The Italian Sailing Federation is an Italian federation headed by CONI and is recognized by Sailing Words
