Le Rocheray kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Switzerland · Vaud
Overview
Le Rocheray is a nice spot on Lac de Joux. From the start, it must be clear that launching takes place among rocks (from the jetty) and it's extremely technical because the wind on Lac de Joux is rarely consistent near the shores.
Therefore expert level only.
