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.

Kids’ Kite School

For 8 years, our kitesurfing school for children in Hyères has specialized in coaching the youngest riders. It has trained children and developed specific camps in partnership with the FFVL. Thanks to our dedication and professionalism, the school has been recognized by the FFVL and now by the FFVoile, and has been able to develop the Hyères kitesurfing talent development center. This center is currently supervised by Ariane Imbert and her team of coaches. Many coaches and pro-riders provide support, such as Seb Garat, Val Garat for freestyle, and Axel Mazella, Théo de Ramecourt for foil, both of whom came from the Hyères talent development center.

We continue this approach by welcoming children from a very young age.

Teen Kitesurfing Camps:

Are you a minor, do you want to discover kiteboarding or improve your skills?
Do you want to progress while being with friends your age?
Do you want to learn new tricks and be in contact with pro-riders???
SO COME ON!!!! WELCOME CHAMPION 😉

Kids’ Kitesurfing Camp and Safety Conditions:

During kitesurfing lessons and camps for children, we pay particular attention to safety conditions. All supervising instructors are state-certified, and the kitesurfing equipment provided is renewed annually. We have smaller wings and boards, specifically adapted for children. During open water kite sessions, children can be in pairs or with an instructor in the water, to reduce any apprehension during their first experiences.

What age to start kitesurfing?

There is no specific age to start kitesurfing lessons for children. Ideally, from 11 years old, learning kiteboarding poses no problem. Below 11 years old, everything depends on the child’s motivation. If the initiative is truly personal, they can access the joy of kitesurfing relatively quickly. If they are pushed by their parents, and are not truly mature or motivated, they risk becoming disgusted with the activity.
