About Porto Pollo

Porto Pollo sits on north Sardinia near Palau, featuring a distinctive geography that creates two distinct riding zones. An isthmus divides the bay: the sheltered inner bay offers flat water ideal for freestyle and learning, while the seaward side picks up Atlantic swell and delivers waves. The location is renowned for consistent, strong wind—often gusty—making it suitable for riders of all levels once they've identified their preferred zone. The natural bay setup provides good protection and easy access, though conditions can be variable.
