Kitesurfing is one of the most exhilarating ways to use the open coast of the Camargue, where the wind is often strong and the beaches are long. An introduction session teaches the basic gestures of control, the handling of the kite on the sand and the first moves in the water. Nothing is expected in advance, and the instructor adapts the progression to the level and the confidence of each participant.
The session is built in stages. The group first learns the safety rules, the parts of the equipment and the way the kite responds to the wind. Each participant then practises the control on the sand before moving to the shallows, where the instructor helps with the first body-dragging and board moves. The aim is a clear sense of progress in one session, rather than a complete mastery of the sport.
The activity suits a small team that enjoys a challenge and a bit of adrenaline. It can be combined with a beach lunch, a cocktail or a sardine lunch on the water, and it gives the group a shared story. Because the wind decides when the session can take place, the schedule is kept flexible and confirmed on the day.

Veelgestelde vragen
Do participants need experience of water sports?
No experience is needed. The session is designed for beginners, and the instructor adapts the progression to each participant.
What happens if there is no wind?
Kitesurfing depends on the wind, so the session is moved to another day when possible, or replaced by another beach activity agreed with the group.
Can the session be combined with a lunch?
Yes. A beach lunch or a sardine lunch on the water can follow the session, which makes it a complete half-day programme.
