Wind Surfing

Whether you’re new to the sport or have been proficient at beach landings since you were 11, a week windsurfing in the sun, on crystal blue waters, is exhilarating to say the least. All 3 resorts have gentle morning breezes to warm you up and stronger afternoon winds to test your skills. Windsurfing is a physical sport and takes a lot of discipline to get it right, but once you’ve mastered a water start and are skimming the waves, possibly achieving some air time, it’ll all be worth it!

Option to windsurf: 28th May, 5th June, 2nd July, 31st July, 6th and 21st August 2011

Windsurfing

With the advent of modern short, wide boards, windsurfing has never been so easy to learn.

For beginners you will start with sessions on the beach using a simulator to learn how to uphaul, steer the board, tacking and gybing, at each stage practicing the skills on the water. As you progress you wll be instructed and coached from one of the many RIBS (Rigid Hulled Inflatable) that the centre has.

For improvers there will be coaching on the beach including starting, harness, foot strap use and learning to plane the board. Your upwind skills will be developed as well as your flare gybing.

For experts you can receive coaching on water starting, carve gybing, jumping and speed sailing.

There are a good variety of boards by Hifly, Bic and JP to suit all levels and conditions, sails are from Simmer, Severne and Nautics - again in a good range of sizes.

There are 9 1/2 day sessions under instruction, with one 1/2 day free windsurfing.

The local weather tends to be thermal based, generally quite calm in the mornings then benefitiing from a good sea breeze in the afternoon. Check out the details on Windguru here: http://windguru.com.
