Where is the Kitesurfing course held?
The famous Almanarre beach, located on the Giens peninsula, is renowned for its waves with westerly winds, but especially for its offshore flat water with easterly winds.
You’ll take off from the beach with easterly winds to escape the waves of La Bergerie.
With westerly winds, you’ll enjoy the summer thermal breezes, or the Mistral gusts!
We’ll prioritize Almanarre for all coaching sessions.
On Almanarre beach, areas are exclusively reserved for kitesurfing. You will be in the heart of a Natura 2000 zone, between pink flamingos and a tombolo. Almanarre also hosts the Almanarre Kite Master, the first stage of the French Kitesurfing Cup, which saw the participation of over 80 riders.
It is therefore quite natural that our kitesurfing school chose Almanarre beach to provide its kitesurfing lessons and kitesurfing courses for both beginners and experienced riders.

Kitesurfing lessons for beginners
Our beginner kitesurfing courses are held in small groups of 4 people, so the instructor can be available for each student. Kitesurfing equipment is fully provided by our kitesurfing school and adapted to your level. Generally, kitesurfing boards for beginners are a bit longer and wider to facilitate balance and make foot placement more instinctive.
No lesson rescheduling is possible, but the price is really attractive for a discovery experience!!!
However, it will always be possible to convert your weekend course into an à la carte option.
