Overview
Around Perpignan, kite surfing is mainly concentrated on the Catalan coast, between Saint-Cyprien, Canet, Le Barcarès, and Leucate. There is a real mix of lagoons and sea, often with the Tramontane blowing regularly, which can make the sessions quite intense, sometimes more physical depending on the spot. The flatter water areas around the lagoons are appreciated for progression and freestyle practice, while the coast can offer more chop or waves depending on the exposure. It is a well-known destination for kite surfers, with a well-established sliding culture and many schools, making it quite accessible to learn while also having fun when you already have a good level.
