Learn Windsurfing With a Local Instructor
If you love the sea and wind, windsurfing is one of the most exciting ways to feel both at the same time.
With me as your instructor, you can safely make your first steps on the board or refresh skills you learned years ago and want to bring back.
Why Try Windsurfing During Your Stay
Windsurfing is a perfect mix of sailing and surfing: you stand on a stable board, hold a light sail in your hands and use the wind to glide over the water.
It is an active, fun sport that wakes up your whole body, but it is also surprisingly calm and meditative once you find your balance and start moving smoothly.
Thanks to the usually gentle morning winds and flat sea, our bay is ideal for beginners who want to learn in comfortable, safe conditions instead of fighting big waves.
In the afternoon, when the wind becomes stronger, there is more challenge for guests who learn quickly or already have some experience.
What You Will Learn
During your windsurfing lesson we go step by step, at your pace:
Understanding the equipment: board, sail, mast and boom – how everything connects and how to set it up correctly.
Safe start: how to get on the board, pull up the sail and stand in a stable position without wasting energy.
Steering and basic turns: sailing away from the beach, coming back safely and turning into the wind and downwind.
First longer rides: once you feel comfortable, we focus on longer glides and using gusts of wind instead of fighting them.
The goal of the beginner lesson is simple: by the end, you should be able to windsurf independently in light wind, control direction and return to where you started.
For Whom Are the Lessons
My windsurfing lessons are suitable for:
Complete beginners who have never tried windsurfing before but can swim confidently.
Guests who had a short course in the past and want to remember the basics in a relaxed atmosphere.
Older kids and teenagers who need clear structure and patient guidance instead of a crowded school on the beach.
You do not need to be super fit or a strong athlete.
If you can swim, listen to instructions and are ready to fall into the water a few times with a smile, you can learn.
Equipment and Safety
For teaching I use stable beginner boards and light sails, which make it easier to stand up, keep balance and learn proper technique from the beginning.
You get all necessary equipment included in the lesson: board, sail, life jacket if needed and, of course, clear explanation on land before we go into the water.
Lessons are always adapted to current weather conditions.
If the wind is too strong or the sea is not safe for beginners, we simply move the session to another time when learning will be enjoyable instead of stressful.
A Personal, Relaxed Way to Learn
Unlike big windsurf schools, lessons with me are small and personal – usually one‑to‑one or with a very small number of people who know each other.
This means more time on the water, direct feedback and a calmer atmosphere where you can ask any question and repeat movements until they feel natural.
I combine my experience as a sailor and waterman with many years on the sea, so I also teach you how to read wind on the surface, choose the right moment to turn and stay relaxed even when the gusts become stronger.
How to Book Your Windsurfing Lesson
If you would like to add windsurfing to your stay:
Send me a short message or e‑mail with your preferred day and time.
Tell me your experience level (beginner / some experience / advanced beginner) and approximate weight so I can prepare the right board and sail.
I will confirm the exact time depending on the forecast and explain what to bring (swimsuit, towel, T‑shirt for sun, sunscreen, water).
Whether you want a single “try it” session or several lessons during your holiday, we can create a small plan that fits your other activities on the island.
