In New Caledonia, on the island of Mbkué, kitesurfer Yuri Zoon offered us a breathtaking show. Taking advantage of favourable winds, he decided to fly over the small island. Even if the face looks easy, it is still dangerous. To view the video, go to the bottom of the page.
Kitesurfing is a sliding sport which consists in evolving on a board while being pulled by a kite. It requires adapted sites, in terms of spaces and frequentation in order to be able to practice safely as well for the kitesurfer as for the others.
Zoom on three of the best kitesurfing spots
For all kitesurfing fans, here are three destinations to have fun in the waves.
In France
Hyères, in the south of France, has the advantage of reserving many parts of beaches for the practice of this sport. Sun and wind are the order of the day all year round and kitesurfing schools welcome you to learn the basics of skiing, to improve your jumping techniques and to help you discover little known spots.
In Venezuela
In a few years, Los Roques Islands and Margarita Island have become one of the international destinations for kitesurfers from all over the world. Gathering more than a hundred different spots, each one finds his place to realize his figures without bothering each other. Moreover, the transparent water allows to observe the underwater fauna from its board.
In Australia
North of Perth, Lancelin is one of the best spots in the world. Combining waves and flat, it is possible to make jumps of all kinds and speed peaks. The most? The all year round wind makes it a true kitesurfing paradise!
