Séjours adultes 18-55 ans
Collective experience is the DNA of UCPA. We base our pedagogy on the binomial to start with. It allows the whole group to practice at the same time during the day.
The sessions take place with everyone alternating to pilot the wing. When the wing is not in hand, it is ideal for helping each other, observing and analyzing the flight of the wing and its flight window, optimizing your practice time with the assistance of the pair on the re-takeoff of the wing and allowing safe practice with a limited number of wings in the air.
→ When can we have one wing per person?
Not until you master the power of your wing, that is to say when you start waterstart and the wing no longer falls into the water. This level of mastery is not stable. All you need is for the wind to be stronger, for there to be waves or for you to be tired and you no longer have control of your wing in these new conditions.
A pair or even a wing for three can be used to guarantee the best safety conditions, regardless of the level. Instead of cancelling a session because the conditions are extreme, we limit the number of wings in the air under the supervision of the instructor.

Séjours colos 11-17 ans
The unique sensation of sliding on the water, pulled by the wind!
It's not that difficult: a few piloting exercises on land or in shallow water with the wing to properly identify the traction areas, and off you go with a board under your feet!
In a group, with an instructor, good sports sessions to discover a great board sport!

We are constantly looking for ways to guarantee progress, safety and innovation. We have chosen to develop apprenticeship in pairs.
Starting out in kitesurfing requires learning several pieces of information related to safety, the technicality of the activity, and knowing your own way of learning. Working in pairs (2 people sharing a wing) allows you to learn from the experience of others, to save time in setting up equipment and to manage your apprehension.
Our instructors can offer supervision situations for any type of situation: from very weak wind to stronger wind.
Autonomy is thus achieved more quickly, through the work of automation and the experiences encountered. In light wind, piloting sessions with box or marine wings, traction simulation, equipment layout will thus be offered.
