- The kitesurf and wingfoil school - For the past 10 years, the La Palmyre kitesurfing and wingfoil school has been a member of the very select circle of international kitesurfing instructor training centers (IKO: international kiteboarding organization). Founded in 2003, we are one of the leading kitesurfing schools in France, based at La Palmyre, one of the most beautiful spots on the Atlantic coast. On the Bonne Anse bay spot. Protected from the ocean waves for gentle learning in a safe environment. Located 15 minutes from Royan, Bonne Anse Bay offers a multitude of sandbanks, allowing you to find the ideal wind direction for each lesson. This allows us to support your progress in the best possible way. In fact, the different spots we take you to are untouched, so you'll have the impression of having the beach to yourself. Depending on wind and tide conditions, lessons can take place on the sandbank of the Cordouan lighthouse (20 min. boat ride from the port). Situated in the middle of the Gironde estuary, and a UNESCO World Heritage site, this is a trip in itself.
