Activity description

Discover kitesurfing at Leucate, the ideal place to experience your first gliding sensations in the Mediterranean Sea in Languedoc-Roussillon.

The lessons last a total of 4 hours: 1 hour prep time and 3 hours of training that will take place in the stretch of water called Etang de La Palme.

UniKite is the ideal school for beginners who are curious and want to get a taster of kitesurfing with a responsible team.

This lesson includes:
- Radio contact
- Groups of 4 people (4 kites) per instructor
- Teaching in deep water
- Transportation to the island via boat
- All necessary kitesurfing equipment with the exception of wetsuit booties and sunglasses

Recommendations: UniKite advises complete beginners to start off with a small trainer kit (3- m2) and a control bar in lights winds (-8 knots). The area you practice in must be a clear open space with no obstacles or natural hindrances. This will enable you to quickly realise what the ideal wind windows and power zones are, saving you a lot of time during your first lesson.
