Description

St Pierre la Mer is situated on the beaches of the Langedoc Rousillon region of France. The beach has a wide sandy kitezone with safety boat as the wind is often off-shore. The typical Tramontane wind blows directly off shore leaving beautiful flat water.

Rules:

Must have third party liability kitesurfing insurance and if wind is off-shore pay for safety boat service.
