Qualified senior instructors to learn to fly on the waves
Marco Maschietto
Originally from Venice, he grew up experimenting with all kinds of water sports (and others) until he was hooked by kitesurfing as early as 1999. Equipment was definitely not as technically advanced as today. His tenacity and fitness and technical knowledge drove him towards quickly becoming an official IKO and FIV instructor, and to begins his professional adventures in 2007. From 2009 to 2013 he taught at X-kite school in Brenzone on Garda lake with stunts in Kenya and Egypt, focusing and specializing in teaching young kids.
With his love for travel and nature, he has surfed, windsurfed and kitesurfed in extraordinary places like Brazil, Chile, Morocco, Canary Islands, getting a taste of the waves in Maui and the wind of Dakhla.
His experience, kindness and availability with a certain dose of empathy allow him to connect directly with the students individuating their weaknesses and making them immediately feel at ease. It isn’t a coincidence that it is said that Marco is able to make you do things you thought you couldn’t do.
“The sea is alive, to live it is a great source of energy, and I think to embrace the wind while stroking the waves is one of the most beautiful experiences that a human can have. After having travelled the world and experienced different cultures and special people, Sardinia literally ‘captured’ me and will not easily let me go…”
Emerico Pala
Windsurfer, Kiter and surfer since forever, he has made safety an area of interest that he applies rigorously. Kitesurfing instructor, tester, passionate about traveling and owner of Wet Dreams Surf Shop, he shares his experience and advice and his technical knowledge for specialized assistance and for repairs on any type of gear.
After first trying his hand at windsurfing in 1983, he started an adventure that took him around the world, on amazing spots in South Africa, Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Brazil, Western Australia, Sardinia, always in contact with nature and the ocean. He improves his water experience abroad, especially in South Africa where every year he spends at least 3 months, riding serious waves and having adventures out of the ordinary that he recalls with some emotion.
Originally Roman but adopted by Sardinia, he knows all the top spots on the island and the best weather conditions for watersports in this amazing place.
“I owe a lot to sports like windsurf, surf, kite and mostly nature that allows them to be: they are able to make you feel part of a world in harmony with the elements. It is not a case that I returned to Sardinia, an island where conditions, spots and people are unique…”
