Founders
You Are Not Alone.
Hi there, we are Svenja and Andrea. Before we met and created Kite Me Up, we both travelled solo, first to learn kitesurfing, then to explore new spots.
The beauty of our sport is that it brings like-minded people together: meeting others and sharing unique moments happens naturally. That's why we created an offer that gives you a comfortable, unique experience you will never forget.
A safe place to travel on your own
Many of our guests are women travelling alone. Here is why they feel at ease with us from the very first day.
Instructors chosen with care
We put a lot of effort into choosing our team. Our instructors are not only excellent teachers: they are respectful, kind and well-mannered, on the water and off it.
Your own space
Choose the stay that suits you best: a private room, your own apartment or a bed in a female-only dorm.
A calm corner of Sicily
Sicily is a safe place to travel, calmer than many big European cities, especially around Lo Stagnone. As anywhere, a little common sense helps at night or when you go out to party, but day to day you can simply relax and enjoy.
Find Yourself in the Wind
Either if you are looking for some time for yourself or willing to meet new people, choosing to come to our kitesurf school will be an enriching experience.
A Gentle Reboot
There are times in life when we need to reboot ourselves. Going on a kitesurf holiday can be a great help to reconnect with yourself. Be in peace and feel the calmness while flying the kite across our beautiful lagoon.
Out of Comfort Zone
Traveling alone and trying kitesurf is a brave decision. Kitesurfing can be challenging but it is incredibly rewarding, especially in Lo Stagnone where progression is fast. You will live an unforgettable experience.
Connect with People
Being a solo traveler is the key to connecting. Alone, you are more open to others—instructors, students, locals. The vibes are good, and many people will be happy to share a sunset drink after a session.
Questions From Solo Travellers
Is it safe to travel to Lo Stagnone on my own as a woman?
Yes. Sicily is a safe place to travel, calmer than many big European cities, especially around Lo Stagnone. As anywhere, a little common sense helps at night or when you go out to party. At the school, we choose instructors who are not only excellent teachers but also respectful, kind and well-mannered.
Where will I stay?
You choose what suits you best: a private room, your own apartment or a bed in a female-only dorm. Have a look at our accommodation or ask us and we will help you choose.
Will I meet other people?
Definitely. Kitesurfing brings like-minded people together, and we are a boutique school with a friendly atmosphere: there is always someone happy to share a tip, a session or a sunset drink.
Brauche ich Vorkenntnisse?
No. The shallow, flat water of the Lo Stagnone lagoon is one of the best places in the world to learn, and our beginner courses start from zero.
Is there a discount for solo travellers?
Yes: solo travellers get 10% off all courses.
