Spot access

<div>To launch</div><div>Position yourself in front of the exit channel and launch with the help of an assistant, with the kite pointing offshore. Once the kite is up (but not at zenith, always above the water), grab your board (left at the edge of the east) and head offshore without delay. The exit channel is authorized for navigation. Priority to those going offshore over those coming back in.</div><div>While riding</div><div>Do not come back toward shore to navigate in the swimming area (yellow buoys), it's simply forbidden. There are also, upwind, in the direction of Préverenges and just above the spot, two bird protection zones. It is strictly forbidden to approach within 300m of these areas. So if you want to ride in the Préverenges-Morges bay, stay well offshore.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;If the wind drops and you drift, in the village of St-Sulpice, there is a large CGN landing dock. Just below it, you can easily land your kite in the water and pack up. Then a path goes back along the lake to the spot.</div><div>To return</div><div>Come back by riding very gently or by being towed through the channel. Once on land, it's safer to move under the trees and land your kite pointing offshore (the same way as for launching). Doing the opposite ensures wind lulls and can be dangerous for other users and for your equipment, so avoid it.</div>
