Come and discover extraordinary sensations in kitefoiling.
Gliding above the water, feeling the levitation, sailing in absolute silence… Kitefoiling offers a unique, almost unreal experience, where each session becomes a suspended moment.

The foil is a device as magical as it is demanding. While it fascinates with its aesthetics and sensations, it requires a progressive and adapted approach to be safely mastered. That’s why we have selected a range of foils specifically designed to facilitate learning and progression, whatever your level.

Where do the kitefoil courses take place?

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 kitefoiling. You’ll 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 Kitesurf Cup, which saw the participation of over 80 riders.

Naturally, our kitefoil school chose Almanarre beach to provide its kitefoil lessons and courses for both beginners and experienced riders.

Kitefoil Specialists in Hyères

Based in Hyères, we are pioneers and specialists in kitefoiling. For over 15 years, we have been developing and refining a specific teaching methodology for foil, derived from field experience and high-level expertise. Our goal is clear: 👉 to help you progress quickly, smoothly, and confidently. Thanks to this approach, learning and advancing in kitefoiling has never been so accessible.

A Tailored, Progressive, and Safe Teaching Methodology

Kitefoil lessons are provided:

  • in open water, with safety boat support,
  • directly from the beach, depending on the water conditions,
  • or towed behind the boat, for a first introduction to the foil.

The first sessions generally take place behind the boat, to familiarize you with balance, gliding, and the sensation of flight without having to simultaneously manage kite steering. This key step helps limit imbalances and accelerate learning, before gradually combining foil and kite. ✨ Whether you want to discover kitefoiling or take your practice to the next level, our team will guide you step by step towards the pleasure of controlled flight
