About this spot
Hourtin Lake is one of the premier freshwater kiting destinations in France. It offers vast areas of completely flat water, making it an ideal location for freestyle progression and high-speed runs.
The lake provides a safe environment away from the Atlantic's heavy shorebreak. It is a go-to spot for riders who prefer butter-flat conditions and shallow water access.
