Activity description :

Discover or improve your kite surfing skills with a course on the beaches of Hyères or Carqueiranne! Thierry will lend you the equipment of the year and will be at your side during this course, which will welcome no more than 4 people. All trainees will be equipped with radios to keep in constant contact with the instructor.

How does it work?

16 years and over - Must be able to swim

  • Thierry will introduce you to the equipment and the safety instructions to be followed during the session.
  • You'll then have an initiation on the sand, without a board, to get used to handling the sail. Mastering the kite is an essential step, enabling you to learn how to move it in all directions, understand how it works and get power at will.
  • During this 3-hour initiation, you'll soon be in the water with your kite for towed swimming.
  • During the following sessions, Thierry will make sure you practice according to your schedule and the weather conditions. Only optimal weather conditions will enable you to learn safely and regularly.
  • Other courses include: your first water-starts, your first tacks, learning to ride upwind and, of course, your first jumps and transitions!

The kitesurfing school: in existence for almost 20 years, this mobile school has been awarded the French kitesurfing school label, guaranteeing you top-quality lessons. Thierry, your instructor, has nearly 35 years' experience in teaching board sports.

This course is perfect if you want to improve your skills or simply learn to kite! You'll be provided with all the equipment you need, and you'll be able to progress in complete safety thanks to Thierry's expert advice.
