What is a Lift?
The Lift or shuttle service is a round-trip transport to the best kite and wing spot on Lake Garda. This service allows you to enjoy kiteboarding without worries and stress at our school in Malcesine. We will take care of you for the entire session with our IKO certified instructors ready to support you for any issues you may encounter during this period. Additionally, with boat support, we can move around the vast Lake Garda to find the best wind conditions and spots.
Lift sessions last approximately 2 hours.

LIFT SERVICE RULES
The lift service starts when the kiter jumps into the water on Lake Garda. It is then your decision whether to enter the water or not, depending on your physical abilities and the weather conditions at that time. The service will be considered used even if the member is not at the scheduled meeting point. The return area, navigation area, and pickup area will be communicated once on board and will depend on weather conditions. In searching for the best wind conditions, these areas may vary each time. For safety reasons, always follow the instructions of the responsible person and adhere to the navigation code rules. All members must navigate in the predefined area. This will make it easier to complete the retrieval service and any rescue operations. The responsible person may terminate the lift service at any time, even before the scheduled time. This may be necessary for safety reasons (adverse weather conditions, emergencies, if a member does not respect boundaries, or other reasons). This decision is final and no refunds will be made. The order of entry and exit from the water is decided by the responsible person. Teachers, assistants, lift service managers, and Easykite Surfing Lab a.s.d. will not be liable for any damage to equipment and/or persons/animals during kiteboarding activities. Each member is responsible for their own equipment, its safe preparation, and entry into the water, as previously indicated at the initial meeting. All members are advised that the lift service does not include relaunching the kite from the water or preparing equipment. If using Easykite Surfing Lab a.s.d. equipment, please return it in the same condition as received: dry, with all lines free of knots and correctly rolled on the bar. Easykite Surfing Lab a.s.d. may charge for any damages to rented equipment.
