The Spot

The Cap Est kitesurfing spot is every bit as good as the southern Caribbean, with its crystal-clear water and shallow reefs dotted with natural turquoise pools, all protected by the coral reef.

Since the beach is "semi-private," you can learn to kite away from prying eyes and without being bothered by other riders.

Cora will tailor the teaching location in the lagoon to your skill level.
Lessons begin at Cap Est Beach, offering you the chanceto learn kitesurfing in complete safety. You’ll also have the opportunity to head out into large bays, allowing you to ride long runs toward the François islets.

Îlet Long, Îlet Oscar, Îlet Thierry, and the famous Joséphine Bathtub will be part of the scenery as you learn.

Weather station

The school has its own on-site weather station to provide real-time updates on sailing conditions.
