SosVoile, kitesurf craftsman in Hourtin

SosVoile is a sailmaker based in Hourtin, in the Gironde, in the heart of the Médoc, a few kilometres from Bordeaux and right next to Lake Hourtin-Carcans, the largest natural lake in France. The workshop is at 2 rue de l'Industrie.

The loft makes and repairs all types of sails: boat sails (new sails or restoration of worn ones), windsurf sails, kitesurf kites, and shade sails, with an upholstery service. For kitesurfing, the workshop presents itself as able to repair torn fabric, battens or a burst leading edge, and says everything is repairable.

The website provides measurement sheets for boat and shade sails, and a practical-information page for sailors on Lake Hourtin (real-time weather, webcam, clubs on the lake). SosVoile can be reached on +33 7 81 67 44 76 or by email.
