Spot Guide: Plage de Bonnieu 🇫🇷
“Welcome to the chemical laboratory.”
That’s what I started calling this spot after accidentally discovering it a few years ago while scouting the French coast. Since then, I keep coming back every year because it offers a unique mix of wind, waves, and foiling conditions in a very special atmosphere.
Spot Guide: Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône 🇫🇷
The spot is best known for its famous breakwater, which creates an enormous protected area behind it. Combined with the powerful Mistral wind, this results in long stretches of smooth water that are ideal for bigair sessions or simply enjoying endless runs.
Whether you're travelling with a camper van, looking for a winter escape or chasing strong Mediterranean winds, Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône is a destination that deserves a place on every kiter's radar.

Spot Guide: La Pelosa 🇮🇹
Located in northern Sardinia, this spot is famous for its stunning turquoise lagoon and reliable thermal wind. Even when the forecast looks light, the local funnel and thermal effects often boost the wind significantly, making it a great option for kitesurfing.
Spot Guide: Hyeres 🇫🇷
Almanarre is one of the most versatile kite spots in Europe. Thanks to its unique location, it works perfectly with both of the Mediterranean's main wind directions: east and west.
