WHAT IS KITESURFING? 

 

Kitesurfing is a sport where progress is rapid. Only the first sessions require acquiring automatisms. It's not as physical as it looks, as all the power of the kite is handled by body weight through the harness. The arms are only used to pilot the wing.

Within the school, you can practice kitesurfing under the supervision of a state-certified and experienced professional. Classes take place in open water, from the safety boat, far from any obstacle and from the people on the beach.

Kitesurfing is an activity that absolutely requires supervision, especially during the first sessions. Even once autonomy has been acquired, it is recommended not to practice kitesurfing alone.

We offer introductory courses but also progression and improvement courses, as well as supervised navigation for more safety during your autonomous sessions.
