How to get your kitesurfing or Wing Foiling license?<\/h3>\n

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)<\/strong> 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)<\/strong> if you wish.<\/p>\n

The license can be obtained online or through our secretary Claire before the first lesson.<\/p>\n

There are 2 federations that issue licenses for kitesurfing and Wing Foiling:<\/h2>\n

French Sailing Federation FFVoile<\/h3>\n
