I tried the spot of Silvaplana (Engadine, Switzerland) in August 2011, and many more times after that. Lake Silvaplana, as well the nearby Lake Sils, during the summer months, allow you to enjoy very pleasant windsurfing sessions, at high altitude, on flat water, in a truly exciting setting. The spots are suitable for different disciplines: freeriding, freestyle, slalom, and foil.
The spot of Barcares Eole is located in a confined section of the immense coastal lake of Leucate, in France, in the department Languedoc - Roussillon. Of all the spots, we checked in the coastal lakes of this area, we found this the safest for inexperienced riders, with strong mistral winds, so frequent here.
Sardinia offers some windsurfing spots, where you can do waveriding in oceanic conditions. Cala Pischina, in the famous North Shore of the island, is one of these. Here is our review, written together with my friend Paolo.

Albenga is located on a flood plain, and unlike other places in Liguria, here the Apennines mountans are not close to the coast. This allows the spot to work with different wind directions.
Yzerfontein is a windsurfing spot, about 50 km from Cape Town, which offers good quality waves for waveriding sessions, and where, generally, the Cape Doctor blows a little less strongly than the more southerly spots. Nice beach and surroundings area, with some services available.
The spot of Leucate - Le Goulet is located in the coastal lake of Leucate, in France, in the Languedoc-Roussillon province, the last Western province before Spain. It's a spot that offers the safe conditions of the inland lakes in the area (low water almost everywhere), and where you can try, with reasonable tranquility, the strong mistral winds that often blow on the area.
