Local association recommendations
The local club: http://www.inkiwi.fr/
We ask the entire kitesurfing community who seek to practice in wild areas to respect these species during breeding periods by avoiding navigating near these sites, which can be visualized on the map below. Kitesurfing, either at sea or on the Ingril lagoon, poses no problem regarding sensitive protected species. The Conservatory of Natural Spaces of Languedoc Roussillon
FFVL certified spot
Spot functioning
 Via the RD 60 from Frontignan city center towards Frontignan Beach or from Vic la Guardiole towards Frontignan Beach crossing the Aresquiers bridge. The advantage of parking at the spot is a constant DANGER (with N-W winds) when launching and landing the kite.
Spot opening date

Open all year round

Required level

Beginner

Parking
70 parking spaces available directly in front of the spot. 
Wind specificities
The most favorable wind remains the North West. Don't miss the rare sessions with South West winds (the Labetch or Narbonnais). No interest in South East winds which don't work well, better go navigate at sea, towards Gachon for example.
Hazards
The shallow water depth in the launching area, some poles and small islands, the sandbank on the west side towards the "small beach". Do not navigate along the road. When the wind picks up, windsurfers are numerous, even very numerous on the spot. You will easily spot the "capetchades" (fixed nets planted in the bottom) to avoid them. Upon arrival, observe the lagoon to identify the presence of fishermen setting up (placing small floating nets that are much less visible) to choose your navigation area.
