    Default DH on Sicily, Italy?

    I'm traveling to Sicily for 5 days in February, planning on renting a car and travel the island to surf and skate.
    I have a business meeting in Taorima the 19th, but will be on the island from the 13th.
    Anyone want to meet up, help me get in contact with local longboarders or have any other general hints on DH, longboarding or surf in Sicily?

    Cheers from Norway!!!

    Just a brief update; Sicily is excellent for DH, pictures and movie will be posted.
    Best spots I could find was on the eastern side of Etna, just east after the southern refuge, from here and towards Albergo Belvedere was just beautiful, I had some snow/rain, but later in the spring this must be a heaven to bomb, the asphalt is good, and on the way down you pass old derelict stone houses and mansions.
    The hills north of the northern refuge could work, however due to the dense forest the snow was still laying on the roads here, and also there's more traffic.
    I found another fantastic area north-west of Etna, around Cesaro, the smooth rolling hills here are excellent for cruising and downtempo DH.
    Across the SS120 going through the interior of Sicily there's tons of spots and little traffic.
