A Wing foil board has been found adrift in the waters of Lake Garda, between Malcesine and Limone. The discovery has prompted a search operation to determine if the owner of the board is in distress.
The search operations are being coordinated by the Operational Center of the Coast Guard and involve naval vessels and a helicopter from the Fire Department. The objective is to ensure that the sportsman is not in danger.
If anyone recognizes the board, they are urged to contact the Operational Center of the Coast Guard at the number 0365 21300.
This incident highlights the risks associated with the practice of wing foiling on Lake Garda. This water sport, which combines windsurfing and kitesurfing, is becoming increasingly popular on the shores of Lake Garda. However, weather and boating conditions can be unpredictable and require good preparation and attention from the sportsmen.
The drifting board could be the result of an accident or negligence on the part of its owner. In any case, it is important to remember the importance of following safety rules in the water and immediately notifying the relevant authorities in case of an emergency or loss.
