Hotmer Lille

Hotmer Lille is the Lille-area store of the Hotmer chain, open since 2015 on avenue de la Marque in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, next to Decathlon Campus. The 300 m² shop brings together windsurfing, kitesurfing and paddle, which remain the chain's core, along with wingfoil, wetsuits, skateboarding and freestyle scooters.

Hotmer runs five surf shops, from Calais to Hyères (Lille, L'Almanarre, Côte d'Opale, Rennes and Dinard), plus an online store offering free delivery from 99 euros. The chain also takes back and resells second-hand gear. The Villeneuve-d'Ascq shop is presented as the largest freestyle scooter and skateboard shop north of Paris.

For water sports, the website highlights brands such as Starboard, SIC, Cabrinha, NeilPryde, Takuma, AFS, RRD and Aeryn. The shop is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Tuesday to Friday, 10 am to 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm to 7 pm; Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm; closed Sunday and Monday.
