We wanted to try something different and after two months of very wavy Tenerife it was about time. First thought: Right to the Mediterranean Sea where you find a mild climate almost all year for a \u201crelaxed\u201d session of water sports. And it went, how it was destined to go &#8211; \u201ca friends friend\u201d showed us his perfect spot. Giens is a still a quite unknown peninsula for water sports directly by the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur. Five minutes driving distance from Hy\u00e8res and you\u2019re at a real secret spot. Sheltered bays, a sleek sea and thanks to the mistral great weather conditions in the spring. <\/p>\n<h3>How do I get there?<\/h3>\n<p> Get right to the next airport and book a flight to Hy\u00e8res! The French mini-airport is located directly by the peninsula Giens. Get off the plane, rent a board and run right in the water! Do you have plans for this weekend already? From Munich to Hy\u00e8res the short trip is going to cost you around 900 Euros. As a real bargain, there are flights to Nizza that start at a prize of 180 \u20ac and that\u2019s only a 2 hour drive.<\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inspiredbysports.com\/en\/action-sports\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nico Prien<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">STATEMENT<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Windsurfing is my passion, since I\u2019ve been a little kid. Right now I\u2019m on the hunt for extraordinary spots. I\u2019ve found a great spot for a couple of relaxing days in Giens &#8211; the mixture of flat waves and whistling winds is amazing.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">Latest News<\/h5>\n<h3>You might also like<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inspiredbysports.com\/en\/action-sports\/\">The next generation of swimmers what talents we can look forward to<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inspiredbysports.com\/en\/action-sports\/\">Swimming styles 3 ways to move forward in the water<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inspiredbysports.com\/en\/action-sports\/\">Read the surf forecasts correctly.
