Description of this activity

Located on the Petite-Côte, the Somone is an ideal place to learn kitesurfing or windsurfing.
Its protected lagoon and steady winds offer ideal conditions for beginners: shallow waters, no strong currents, and a peaceful environment away from the crowds.

Supervised by an experienced instructor, you will begin your introduction on the beach, learning about the equipment and the basics of safety.
Then, head to the sea or the mouth of the lagoon for your first glides. The lessons are personalized: some focus on handling the kite, others on balance and steering.
You progress at your own pace, in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

Throughout the session, you can also enjoy the natural surroundings: the mangroves, the seabirds in the reserve, and the changing light of the lagoon.
It is both a sporting and contemplative activity, perfect for discovering the unique sensation of gliding over the water while admiring the surrounding nature.
