Kitesurfing courses with Alex Robin

Kitesurfing lessons and courses with experts north of Ile de Ré

Do you dream of gliding across the water in total freedom? Discover our kitesurfing lessons and courses on the Ile de Ré, supervised by passionate professionals.

Supervision by recognized riders:

As soon as you arrive, you'll be welcomed by Alex Robin, kitesurf instructor trainer at the École Nationale de Voile et des Sports Nautiques since 2012, and Grégoire Rochereau, experienced instructor. Their teaching methods guarantee rapid and safe progress, adapted to your level. Their aim is to teach you kitesurfing in a safe and fun way.

Personalized lessons for all levels:

Whether you're a beginner or want to perfect your kite and board skills, our courses are designed to meet your needs.
- Initiation: discovery of kite handling, the flight window, and the basics of piloting. Of course, we'll also teach you how to properly equip yourself. From wetsuits to harnesses, helmets and life jackets, which are compulsory in kitesurfing schools.
- Progression: work on the waterstart, control of the glide on a kitesurf board, transitions, upwind riding and autonomy on the water.
- Perfecting: improving navigation and heading, and learning the first tricks and different boards. Learn to kite with a surfboard under your feet (strapless kitesurfing) or a foil (kitefoil).
During kite coaching and supervised navigation, you'll have a walkie-talkie. The radio gives you the best tips in real time. All equipment and compulsory insurance are included in the price.

We'll look at all methods of re-launching a kite in all conditions, as well as self rescue to get you back on board even if the kite doesn't re-launch, or in the event of equipment breakage in your future independent practice.

Spots adapted to all conditions:

Our lessons take place at the best kitesurfing spots on the Ile de Ré, depending on weather and tide conditions. We use :
- Diamond Head at Saint-Clément-des-Baleines, ideal for north-westerly at low tide
- Le banc du Bûcheron (parking lot at Anse du Fourneau in Les Portes-en-Ré), ideal for northeast at low tide
- Le Boutillon, near Le Martray between Ars-en-Ré and La Couarde, ideal from the southwest at low tide
- The Ars-en-Ré sailing school, near the new harbor's harbor master's office, for all boat departures, whatever the wind.

These spots, well known from the Windguru, Windy and Windfinder weather forecasts, offer ideal conditions for learning and progressing in complete safety.

Top-of-the-range equipment, available for pre-owned sale:

We use state-of-the-art equipment from Flysurfer and North Kiteboarding, regularly renewed for maximum comfort and safety. At the end of your course, you can buy second-hand equipment to continue progressing independently. Take a look at the second-hand kitesurfing section of our website.
