Windsurfing Course
in Vieste, Italy

The shallow water spot guarantees the safety, as well as a more rapid learning process.

Windsurfing Course:
Theory and Land Simulator
Introductory or intermediate Windsurf course that starts with basic theory on the wind and sailing sports. Safety procedures and practices for all levels explained before rigging the sail and preparing to enter the water.
We use a simulator on land to practice the technical aspects in stable conditions. This leads to a faster assimilation and major success of the execution in the water.
Windsurfing Course:
Riding and Basic Turns
The first trials for beginners happen in shallow water which makes it easier to get up on the board. When students reach the level of riding in both directions for a certain distance, the practice moves to deeper water but always followed closely by the teacher who can give instructions in real-time.
Windsurfing course:
Advanced Progression
Intermediate and advanced students can learn the next steps that include Fast Tacking, Jibing, Beach-starting and Water-starting. All instructors being VDWS licensed, they will make sure that all these more advanced exercises are practiced according to the students’ levels and in full safety.
