Overview

In Saint-Malo, kitesurfing takes place on the large Sillon beach, with an atmosphere of a very exposed Atlantic coast and a view of the ramparts and forts in the background. The spot is mainly known for its supervised practice, and lessons are also held according to the conditions in the bay of Lancieux, just next to Dinard. Generally, one navigates on a changing body of water, with chop and sometimes more formed sea conditions, so it is important to stay attentive to the state of the sea and the tide. The area has a true sliding culture, but it is rather suited for riders who are comfortable or for those who come to get in the water with a school. The activity season of local structures mainly extends from spring to autumn, when conditions are most favorable.
