What is a Lift
The lift service or shuttle is a round- trip transport to the kite spot, this service helps you enjoy kiting without worries and stress, we will take care of you for the whole session thanks to our instructors that will be ready to support you for any problems you encounter during this time.
Also, thanks to the boat support we can move around the huge Garda lake to find better spots and wind conditions.
Lift sessions are approximately 2 hours long

Rules
for lift service.
The lift service begins when the kiter jumps into the water. It is therefore your decision whether to get into the water or not, and that depends on your physical abilities and the weather conditions in that moment.
The service will be considered used even if the member isn’t at the meeting point at the scheduled time.
The drop off area/ navigation area / pick up area will be communicated once on the boat and that will depend on the weather conditions. In the search of the best wind conditions, such areas may vary each time.
For safety reasons, please follow the instructions of the person in charge at all times, and respect the Navigation Code rules.
All members must navigate in the predefined area. This will make the pick up service, and possible rescues easier to complete.
The person in charge can at any time interrupt the lift service, even before the scheduled time. This may be necessary for safety reasons (bad weather conditions, emergencies, if a member doesn’t respect the boundaries, or other) Such decision is indisputable and no reimbursements will be made.
The order of entering and exiting the water is decided by the person in charge.
Teachers/assistants/people in charge of the lift service and Easykite Surfing Lab a.s.d. will not be responsible for any damage to the equipment and/or people/animals during the activity of kitesurfing.
Each member is responsible of their own equipment, its safe preparation, and entry in the water, as previously instructed at the time of the first meeting.
All members are advised that the lift service does not include the relaunch of the kite from the water and does not include the preparation of the equipment.
In the event of using equipment of the Easykite Surfing Lab a.s.d. school, please return it in the same way it was: dry, all ropes must be free of knots and correctly rolled onto the bar. Easykite Surfing Lab a.s.d. may charge for any damages of the rented equipment.
