Italy: Lago di Bolsena
Italy: Lago di Bolsena
Etruscan towns line the crater, filled with drinking water - or so the fishermen claim. No concrete buildings, just lush green oaks, cypresses, poplars and vineyards. Here and there, organic farmland and two messengers from the sea and the mountains: Marino and Tramontana. SURF discovered a paradise for freeriders, but nobody knows about it.
When the wind starts its campaign from the sea over roasted grasses, spicy trees and the mysterious hilly landscape of Etruscia, it is lovingly hemmed in and welcomed by a water warrior of volcanic origin on the Tuscan-Umbrian border. I'm talking about a lake, in the heart of the Old World. Forgotten, hiding behind the hills of Tuscany, as if protecting a mystical secret. Here is the beginning of the world - and also its end.
We spend four days on site and have four days of wind. Our guide Roberto Hofmann squeezes more information about the wind conditions out of a fisherman anchored in Capodimonte. We realise that the wind here is no coincidence.
