Freeride & Big Air coaching

Three levels, one direction

Minimum level: ride upwind and turn (tack)

Level 1

Freeride

Polish your fundamentals and explore new ground: pop, toeside, blind, slides, foil, strapless. Each one widens your range, for more style and more ease, whether you are aiming at jumping or at freer riding.

Level 2

Old School

Build speed and amplitude, then grow your repertoire with rotations, grabs, one-foots and board-offs — moves that ask for more commitment and prepare the step up to Big Air.

Level 3

Big Air

Unlock your potential. Learn the preload pop, add loops to your tricks, explore new variations on your rotations and fly your kite in strong wind. The playground of the adrenaline addicts.

What do I need?

Your gear, your reference points

As the sessions focus on refinement, it is better to bring your own kite and bar. Building your reference points and your reflexes on your own gear will make you progress faster. You will also need to bring:

  • HelmetProtect your head from impacts. If you want to learn board-offs, or if you ever have to kick the board away before a hard landing, you had better be well protected. Your head is your central computer.
  • Impact vestThe higher you go and the more rotations and variations you attempt, the more likely you are to land off balance. An impact vest protects your ribs and adds a far from negligible amount of buoyancy.
  • HarnessChoose a harness that really fits your body, so you can train at your best and without discomfort. Remember: your harness is how you feel your kite.

What is provided?

Everything to watch yourself back

  • CameraI film you during your session so you can see your mistakes and correct them far more easily.
  • Walkie-talkieI guide you throughout the session over the radio, by walkie-talkie.
  • MediaTake away your video and photo files for your social media posts (editing not included).

Bring a towel, a yoga mat, and a bottle of water.

Supers sessions avec Nathanaël. J'ai eu la chance de pouvoir faire des cours particuliers avec lui, on apprend nettement plus vite ! Et Nathanaël est pédagogue. Je recommande !

Donatien

J'ai fait mes deux premiers cours de kitesurf avec Kite Odyssey. Nathanaël, le moniteur, m'a permis de progresser très rapidement et j'ai même pu commencer les premières glisses avec de super sensations ! Merci et à bientôt !

Romain Loizeau

Super initiation ! J'ai adoré ce cours et je reviendrai ! Très agréable et pédagogue alors que j'étais débutante. Je recommande fortement !

Marie Bertrand

Un prof passionné, sympathique et professionnel. Il est attentif et à l'écoute de son client. Ses explications sont claires et il vérifie par la pratique si tout est bien compris.

Dom Racing

Très bonne approche professionnelle avec un passionné. On se revoit l'année prochaine avec des progrès de mon côté.

FAQ

The questions that keep coming up

Is coaching open to me if I cannot jump yet?

The minimum level to start is being able to ride upwind and link transitions — you do not need to jump already. Jumping and tricks come next, as you move from Level 1 (Freeride) to Level 3 (Big Air).

Is Freeride coaching right for me if I do not want to do aerial tricks?

Yes. Beyond jumping, kitesurfing has a whole world to explore: foil, strapless, and many moves such as toeside, blind or slides, which need no jump at all. The coaching adapts to your goal, not only to the path towards Big Air.

How long does it take to go from Freeride to Big Air?

There is no fixed duration — it depends on each student: how often they train, how naturally they progress, and how willing they are to take technical risks. Some progress fast with commitment, others prefer to consolidate each step before moving on.

Where do the kitesurf coaching sessions take place?

Around Leucate, depending on the wind and the day's conditions: on the lagoons (Parc des Dosses, the military base at Saint-Laurent-de-la-Salanque, La Palme), at the mouth of the Agly and at sea (Canet beach, Le Rouet beach, La Vieille Nouvelle). The La Palme lagoon is described on the La Palme spot page. All the spots are on the spot map.
