Welcome to Spot Kitecenter, your top destination for learning wing foil. Whether you’re a watersports enthusiast looking to broaden your horizons or a complete novice, our beginner courses offer the perfect opportunity to master this exciting sport.

The beginner wingfoil course takes place over a weekend. The course includes two introductory lessons of 3.5 hours each, depending on the weather. Sometimes, both lessons can be taken on the same day. This introductory course is ideal for starting your learning journey and finding out if you truly want to commit to more comprehensive wing training. Depending on the weather, we will optimize the sessions to help you discover the best of the activity: gliding, propulsion, and steering!

Our courses are individualized according to your level and goals. These wing foil camps are an excellent opportunity to discover this fascinating and accessible water sport.

Where does the Wingfoil camp 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 Wingfoil practice. You’ll be right in the Natura 2000 zone, between pink flamingos and the tombolo.

It is therefore quite natural that our Wingfoil school chose Almanarre beach to provide its Wingfoil courses and Wingfoil camps for both beginners and experienced riders.
