The first gust slants across the lagoon and the kite answers, tugging until you find a steady rhythm — that first connection between wind and body is what most come to Anse La Raie for. The beach opens onto a shallow turquoise lagoon protected by a fringing reef, giving learners relatively calm water to practice kite control before they try riding a board.
