Kitesurfing Normandy

As of April 4, 2022, the Océane city can boast of having a Kitesurfing school led by an international champion! Samuel Michaille, winner of the Engie Kite Tour 2019, offers, this spring, to beginners as well as advanced, to practice their passion with experienced instructors. But the kite, what is it already? It's a paraglider-like sail connected to a surfboard in which the wind takes all its power to make you jump on the waves... Let's try !

Kite surfing, a sport that combines the qualities of paragliding and windsurfing, through the two elements of water and sea. A school allows Le Havre to learn this complete but risky sport: the Max Kite School. A state-run instructor teaches movements and techniques to evolve under the best conditions.

Founded in 2002 by Damien Burnel, this kitesurf, stand-up paddle, and wingfoil school is a benchmark in Normandy. It offers a unique structure with a store, changing rooms, hot showers, storage lockers... All grouped together in a single space on the beach at Merville-Franceville, a kitesurfing spot renowned even beyond Normandy's borders. After the thrills, riders and curious passers-by meet up at the recently opened Aloha bar, on the south-facing terrace, for a beer, cocktail, or homemade iced tea... Aren't we good?
