Get your Kitesurfing or Wing Foiling license

How to get your kitesurfing or Wing Foiling license?

It’s the question people ask when starting this sport. A license is mandatory and is not included in the course fee. It will cover you for specific civil liability (CL) in case of damage to others (bodily injury or property damage), for this high-risk sport. For personal injuries, you’ll need to get personal accident coverage (PA) if you wish.

The license can be obtained online or through our secretary Claire before the first lesson.

There are 2 federations that issue licenses for kitesurfing and Wing Foiling:

French Sailing Federation FFVoile

To conclude, you’ll always find a license that suits your kiting! Simply prepare your medical documents in advance if needed, so on the first day of your kitesurfing course, formalities will be even quicker!! Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!
