Marina di Ravenna
Marina di Ravenna, at the Porto Corsini harbour mouth, is Emilia-Romagna's best-known wave spot when a strong north-easterly Bora is blowing: a roughly 1.5km jetty organises the swell into clean, cross-off-left waves. The AWC Kite Center runs rentals, lessons and instructor courses right at the spot, which otherwise sees consistent Adriatic wind and warm water for much of the year.
