So there’s no risk of you doing it and then becoming a professional in the field. This spot is located on the west side of Sainte-Marie-de-Ré. It’s a must-see experience for everyone. What makes this a great spot for beginners is the waves, which are both gentle and low. However, it’s worth noting that during the summer months, the crowds are quite large. So you’ll have to be careful to avoid any accidents.
Grignon, an ideal spot for thrill-seekers
