The Ridery Paris

The Ridery Paris is the Paris store of The Ridery, a kitesurf and wingfoil retailer that also has shops in Marseille and on the Picardy coast. It opened in 2021, just after the first lockdown, and is designed as a local meeting point or concept store rather than a conventional shop: little gear on display, with a coffee on arrival and a beer from 5 pm. Alexis welcomes riders on site.

The store is at 8 avenue Paul Adam in the 17th arrondissement, next to place Pereire and Pereire metro station (line 3). It is open Monday to Saturday to advise on equipment and handle rental pick-ups.

The offer includes kitesurf and wingfoil rental, pay-as-you-go or by subscription, with delivery to your home, holiday address or a relay point, plus inspected and refurbished second-hand gear with a 6-month guarantee. The company also offers trade-in and repairs, as well as wingfoil lessons and outings departing from Paris.

Rental and sale equipment includes brands such as Duotone, F-One, Cabrinha, Eleveight, Naish, North, Slingshot, Gong, Takuma, Neilpryde and JP Australia. The brand's website also lists pumping and e-foil categories, as well as wetsuits and rider equipment.

Monday to Saturday (detailed hours on the shop's Google listing).
