Spot de La Badine - Giens

La Badine - Giens

La Badine - Giens

Kitesurfing spot | France

Overview

An amazing spot in East wind but not FFVL certified, so it's forbidden for kitesurfers to launch from the beach... This site is tolerated in winter but be careful, you won't be covered if you injure someone for example... 
Once beyond 300 meters, you can navigate and it's epic! Big waves that roll nicely on good days... The spot is huge, it's better to move away a bit from the starting area

Technical details of La Badine - Giens spot

Required level

Intermediate

Spot opening date

Open from 01/06 to 31/08

Non-certified spot so only tolerated in winter when beach attendants are not there!!

Parking

Possibility to park before the beach entrance but you'll need to walk a few minutes... Better optimize your trips back and forth :-)

Hazards

Some mooring buoys, a beach to absolutely avoid for beginners and even intermediate riders... Like many spots in the Var region, this spot is reserved for advanced riders

Wind specificities

This is an East wind spot, exclusively East... Don't launch in any other wind direction, which would make the spot dangerous
In West wind, the flat water is tempting but the wind is extremely disturbed!
Schools like "Yellw kite school" offer secure navigation with downwind options to Porquerolles or even Port-Cros for the more adventurous...
Choose this option if you want tranquility, flat water and safety ;-)
