Who are we?

Gardakitesurf, also known as GKS, is a kite school in Campione, with a team of professional instructors whose only goal is to give a unique experience in a magical place like Lake Garda  where air, water and land merge into one ingredient: fun and sport.

The history of the Gardakitesurf school

Gardakitesurf was born in 2013 in Campione del Garda, thanks to Daniele, a kitesurfing enthusiast who really wanted to transform his passion into a profession and teach others the sport that changed his life.

The GKS team

The Garda Kitesurf Campione Team expanded quickly and Daniele soon surrounded himself with prestigious instructors and partners of a high level. GKS became an important kite school in Campione, whose ultimate goal was to teach this amazing sport to everyone, from children to adults, in complete safety and fun, thus creating independent Kiters.

The GKS team for kitesurf and wingfoil courses

Within the garda kitesurf team you can find IKO instructors and professional kitesurf and wingfoil masters for your lessons

The motto of GKS kitesurfing school in Campione del Garda is learning while having fun, thanks to a team of kite and wing masters with one goal: to teach to everyone safely, with ad hoc kitesurfing and wingfoiling courses. Thanks to the latest equipment and modern teaching systems, we offer a choice of lessons for students 12 years onwards.
