Do you want to improve your steering, inflation, and body positioning in the wind? Do you want to relax while soaring just above the sand by the water’s edge?

There are many reasons to visit the Dune du Pilates:

• The dune remains an ideal place to improve your kitesurfing skills. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert at “face-sailing,” the dune and expert instruction will help you improve.
• If you're having a little trouble taking off on days when there's a strong wind at the launch site, you can practice the right technique on the dune. Your movements will be more precise, and your confidence will improve.
• The dune allows you to refine your turning precision with relative safety. When you’re close to the ground, even the slightest mistake is immediately noticeable. You’ll learn to steer with precision to achieve perfect turns!
• If you're looking to learn some driving maneuvers, the dune is the perfect place for it.
• Finally, you’re really interested but worried about damaging your kite… We’ve brought equipment so you can practice on land. That way, you can learn the basics using our gear. Once you’ve gotten the hang of it, you can switch to your own kite…

We accept all skill levels beyond the beginner’s course; the Dune du Pilat offers opportunities for everyone to improve. The goals will simply vary.

We’ve selected the times of year that offer good westerly conditions combined with breezes that are less strong than in the height of summer.
