Les Hemmes de Marck kitesurf spot
France · Hauts-de-France
Overview
Les Hemmes de Marck is a kitesurf spot near Marck (Pas-de-Calais), on the low-lying coastal plain between Calais and Dunkirk. This remote and wild spot sits on a flat coastline exposed to a very wide arc of winds from North-East through West to North-West — the full range of dominant North Sea and Channel winds.
Large tidal range with vast flat beaches. The terrain is very exposed with no natural shelter. Winds can be strong and gusty. An excellent spot for experienced riders looking for consistent and powerful conditions.
