Glisse Academy

Glisse Academy is a kitesurfing, wingfoiling and e-foil school at 25 avenue de Mindin in Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, between Pornic and Saint-Nazaire. Founded by Jules, a BPJEPS instructor, it relies on a team that reports more than 15 years of experience, with a DEJEPS instructor and two instructors training for the BPJEPS. It is open all year, 7 days a week, and displays the Pro Kite Center and One Launch Kiteboarding labels.

The offer includes kitesurfing (3-hour pay-per-lesson courses, discovery and autonomy packages, supervised rental, private lessons, kitefoil, tandem), wingfoiling (2.5-hour lessons, towed foiling), Lift e-foil (introduction, packs, excursions) and Duotone Foil Assist. Groups are limited to four people, with two safety boats and radio links. The spots are Les Rochelets and Le Pointeau for kite and wing, and several sites for e-foil, including La Baule.

Equipment is Duotone for kite and Foil Assist, Fanatic for towed foiling and Lift for e-foil. The website also offers gift vouchers, an annual subscription, coaching and a simulator for practising on windless days.
