In this taster session, your instructor will teach you the very basics of windsurfing in a fun yet effective way to have a taste of what this amazing sport has to offer.

The lesson starts with a brief introduction about the equipment, such as the board and the sail, the position on the board, the way you maintain your balance on it, and the technique to pull the sail up.

Once you manage to stand up and hold the sail up, you will move to the next step, which is basic sailing and turning. Individual attention will be given to you by your fully qualified instructor, who will guide and assist you throughout the lesson.

Learning to windsurf. This was an easy to follow course by a very knowledgeable instructor, he made everything easy to understand by showing us and telling us how to do every skill we would need to progress into windsurfing

We were in a very shallow bay so it never felt unsafe falling into the water. That made it easier to let go and just do it

It was my first time on a windsurf, amazing... I was afraid of falling down and when it happened I laughed and went on until I start enjoying the surfing without worrying anymore.
