Fort de bregancon kitesurf spot

Overview

We ride in front of the President's residence, what an honor!! ?

While waiting for him to privatize the spot, which is forbidden to kites (let's say tolerated during winter), this spot is magical in southwest wind, the only direction that really works well here!! 
Very short beach, FORBIDDEN to beginners... You need to be confident to enjoy this spot during winter conditions, cold and strong wind. Lots of waves, sometimes quite big and close together, in the Mediterranean, swell periods are short

Don't get too close to the fort, especially don't try to set foot on it... not-so-friendly bodyguards might come to pull your ears.
