The north east trade winds accelerate across the plains of Lamentin and blow onshore at the launch area and at 90 degrees to the whole sailing area. The main wind period is from the beginning of December until the end of April, but FBC Martinique is open all year round and you can expect some great conditions in June and July which can be a perfect time to travel as hotels and flights are so much cheaper. There is a launching area in front of the center (30 m wide) with waist high flat water and soft sand under foot. This area is slightly protected from the wind and is excellent for entry level and kids. Outside this area is where the fun really begins!

The sailing area is large and safe with easy freeride conditions (flat water and bump & jump). You sail from the center in the direction of a deep green mangrove. Just before this (about 400 m from the center) is a shallow (waist high) sand bank, perfect for waterstart and jibe training, or even for taking a well deserved break!

A long wooden jetty runs from the main center building out to the sailing area and it’s a great place for watching the action and taking pictures as your friends fly past!

Last but not least, and should you get worried about inactive holidays, the center also has a powerful motorboat and are trained in all sorts of tow-in sports such as waterskiing and of course wakeboarding – you will have NO excuses for being lazy during your holiday!

The launch can be tricky as the area is very small and the wind blows onshore here, but the team is always on hand to help, and less experienced kiters can be taken by boat to launch outside and make the best of the wind direction and safety offered. The team of expert kiters at FBC Martinique will look after you well both on land and on the water and are just waiting to share their enthusiasm with you, as well as providing top tips. You can even discover the joy of Kitefoiling at the center and learn this new riding dimension in all safety, so don’t wait any longer!

All year round the water is warm and so is the wind – you can’t ask for much more!
