The kitesurfing school in Wissant is committed to …

... Limiting the number of people per lesson.

The number of people is optimised in order to boost your progress: kitesurfing (4 people maximum), introduction to stand-up paddle boarding (8 people maximum).

... Ensuring safety.

We do everything to ensure your safety and security by:

- Choosing a site adapted and away from confirmed users.

- Checking equipment (yearly autotest and equipment logbook).

- Using no board leash for kitesurfing lessons, which may cause real injury.

- Providing an instructor with first-aid training and written emergency procedures.

... Respecting the quality charter of the EFK (French schools of kitesurfing): Charter
