Activity description :

Discover kite surfing during a 3-hour initiation with a state-certified instructor! You'll be riding in several spots, so you'll be in the right place at the right time. During the session, you'll have access to brand-new equipment and a VHF radio headset so you can communicate with Thierry in all circumstances.

How does it work?

From age 16 - Initiation

  • Thierry will introduce you to the equipment and the safety instructions to be followed during the session.
  • You'll then have an initiation on the sand, without a board, to get used to handling the sail. Mastering the kite is an essential step, enabling you to learn how to move it in all directions, understand how it works and get power at will.
  • During this 3-hour initiation, you'll soon be in the water with your kite for towed swimming.

The Kite Foil formula: for all intermediate kitesurfers, Thierry offers a 20-minute or 3-hour introduction to Kite Foil!

Kitesurfing school: in existence for almost 20 years, this mobile school, which has been awarded the French kite school label, guarantees high-quality lessons. Thierry, your instructor, has nearly 35 years' experience in teaching board sports.

If you'd like to discover kitesurfing, don't hesitate to book your first lesson with Thierry, who will be delighted to be your instructor! What's more? There will be a maximum of 4 students per session, for a more personalized follow-up and a better success rate! For the more adept, Thierry also offers courses lasting several sessions.

Many thanks to Thierry for a great time, in an equally pleasant setting. Kiteboarders, you'll be in good hands and at the right place if you feel like it.

Thierry explained perfectly how to handle and maneuver the sail, ideal for learning the rudiments of kiteboarding and then continuing on, with the added bonus of a short boat trip along the coast. Highly recommended.
