Overview

Kerurus is a kitesurf spot on the north shore of the Crozon peninsula (Finistère, Brittany), near Camaret-sur-Mer. This exposed Atlantic spot faces north, catching winds from a wide range of directions across the Iroise Sea.

Wild and scenic spot on one of Brittany's most dramatic coastlines. Tide-dependent. Strong Atlantic winds and swell possible — suitable for intermediate to advanced riders. A good complement to Les Amiets nearby.
