Glide at full speed across turquoise waters, leap over the waves, and feel the power of the wind in your sail: the Côte des Légendes and the coastline of northern Finistère offer an exceptional setting for water sports enthusiasts. If you’re planning an outdoor vacation at our Slow Village Breizh Légendes campground, you’ll be ideally situated to take your board out onto postcard-perfect stretches of white sand.
Whether you're a seasoned rider looking for a great wave session or a beginner searching for your first kitesurfing school, here's everything you need to know to ride safely in this beautiful region of Brittany.
Between Brest Harbor, the Abers, and Goulven Bay, the northern part of the region is full of exceptional sailing areas suitable for every skill level and wind direction:
Learning to kitesurf requires professional instruction to master safety procedures, weather analysis, and kite handling before stepping onto the board.
Choose a certified school (FFVL or BPJEPS) that offers small-group classes with personalized radio guidance. In Finistère, many schools conduct their training on safety boats (in open water) or at sheltered spots at low tide. This ensures you’ll learn quickly without the risk of being swept toward the shore.
During your first sessions at the school, all the equipment will be provided for you:
For a successful session, the wind should ideally blow between 15 and 25 knots. A wind direction parallel to the beach (side-shore) or coming from the sea (on-shore) is essential for safety, to avoid being swept out to sea.
In Northern Brittany, the tidal range (the difference in water level between high and low tide) is very significant. The tides completely transform the spots: a bay that’s closed off at low tide can give way to rough seas at high tide. Always check the tide tables and ask the locals for advice before rigging your sail.
Nothing beats the pleasure of rinsing off your wetsuit and putting away your gear after an intense day spent breathing in the sea air.
When you settle in at our Slow Village Breizh Légendes campground, located right on the ocean, you’ll be in direct contact with the elements. It’s the perfect retreat to share your experiences from the session with other enthusiasts, relax in peace and quiet amid unspoiled nature, and keep an eye out for the best weather conditions for the next day.
