What riders say
Be cautious of water level variations: in summer, walk carefully on the slippery pebbles for launching.
Avoid the tree in the middle of the launch area on the grass.
The banks form small cliffs; in case of trouble, practice self-rescue as getting back to shore is impossible in some places.
Respect the prefectural order regulating navigation.

The Crots at Lake Serre-Ponçon, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, form a popular spot between the villages of Savines-le-Lac and Crots. The Eaux Douces beach offers a wide strip of grass about 300 meters for launching, with facilities like a beach bar, toilets, and barbecues nearby.
Surrounded by high mountains with turquoise waters, this mountain lake attracts kitesurfing enthusiasts for its reliable thermal wind. It is an ideal place to combine sport and relaxation, with schools on site like Altitude Kite.
The launch varies by season: easy in spring with a high level, more technical in summer on the pebbles.
