The beach of Damgan, located on the coast of Morbihan in Southern Brittany, offers a wild and pleasant setting for sliding. It is a versatile spot appreciated by riders for its consistent west wind and preserved environment.
Open to Atlantic influences, it is well-suited for freeride and beginner wave sessions. Conditions vary with the tides, making the spot accessible depending on the schedule.
Close to Vannes and local schools, it is a convenient place to progress safely.

The spot works mainly with winds from SW, WSW, or W, which are cross-shore relative to the north-south oriented beach, providing good power for takeoff and navigation. At high tide, the water surface is wider and allows for an extended navigation area, while at low tide, the shallow areas are ideal for learning with a flat bottom. Launching is done directly from the sandy beach, easily accessible even for beginners, and the launch area is spacious without major obstacles. Be cautious of variations due to the strong tidal range of Morbihan, which exposes sandbanks at low water and widens currents at high water. Summer thermal breezes rise in the afternoon, perfect for regular sessions, and local schools like Kite2Rhuys adapt the spots to wind orientations avoiding the north. For advanced riders, a west swell with strong wind creates waves on sandbanks, but intermediates prefer the central flat areas.
