Locales

  • Hyères - Oursinières 10 km Downwindfun
  • Marseilles
    • Downwind
      • (Marseilles harbor gets downwindable swell for laps)
      • Étang de Berre Run 17 - 19 km Downwindable.com, Smoking SUP downwind video
        • Best wind direction: Wind from the North, from full North to North-West, (very rare North-East)
          Best season: From April / May to September / October. July / August: perfect to try it out for the first time. Be careful in the winter months with the strong winds of the Mistral because the water is very cold, between 5 and 7 °C. And this run gets far from land, working with a wind that is more off shore the more northerly the wind is.
        • Put-in: St Chamas 19.3 km paddle, Istres (Pointe Monteau) 17.5 km paddle
        • Take-out: Jaï beach, Côté la Mède
      • La Ciotat
    • Surf
      • Épluchures Beach & Pointe Rouge - crowds and parking can be a challenge
    • Clubs
    • Dealers/Equipment
