This sport also includes a sail, with the boat being replaced by a simple surfboard and only one crew member responsible for turns and jibes – maneuvers of equal importance in sailing.
The winds needed for sailing contribute to the success of this sport, the regulations on the lake do the rest: in the northern part of Lake Garda, which is located in the Trentino region, motor boats are prohibited. As well as in Riva del Garda and Torbole, there are also windsurfing centres in the Veneto and Lombardy regions, in the southern part of Lake Gara: Malcesine, Brenzone and Torri del Benaco in the province of Verona; Limone, Campione, Moniga, Padenghe and Sirmione in the province of Brescia.
The “Windsurfer Garda Lake” association, for example, hosts the “Windsurf Crazy Race – Campione to Pra” regatta in Campione, an amateur competition, during which participants compete on the surfboard for the best style and costume.
