Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for Calm Waters
Morning sessions often offer lighter winds, ideal for practicing control before the thermal winds pick up.
Wear Proper Sun Protection
The Mediterranean sun can be intense; use water-resistant sunscreen and wear UV-protective clothing.
Check Wind Forecasts Before Booking
Optimal wind conditions usually occur midday; scheduling around them enhances your learning experience.
Stay Hydrated
Bring water and drink regularly—active time on the water and sun exposure can quickly dehydrate you.
