About this spot
Situated near Hourtin, this lake acts as an excellent alternative flat-water destination. It offers similar freshwater conditions with plenty of space for riders to spread out.
The spot is particularly good for those seeking a quieter atmosphere while still enjoying consistent wind and glass-flat water. It is ideal for mid-sized kites and practicing technical maneuvers.
