What Sets Us Apart:
Small Group Magic: At our windsurfing school, we value small group sizes. With a low instructor-to-participant ratio of 1:3, you won't get lost in a sea of learners. Our small groups ensure personalised attention, allowing you to progress at your own pace and make the most of your lesson.

Expect a personalised approach that maximises your time on the water.
Our 1 hour lessons include a full hour of windsurfing, allowing you to feel the wind beneath your sail, and comprehensive theory and equipment instruction to ensure you're not just riding the waves but mastering the art.
