Description : Modern boards with significant lateral stability (wide board) to make it easier to re-hoist the sail. Initial lessons are given in very light winds. This is satisfactory whatever the board size because of the significant volume. The wide range of sail areas makes it possible to go windsurfing in all weathers.
Activity : Provided by qualified instructors, the courses are based on the theoretical and practical aspects recommended by the French sailing federation (Fédération Française de Voile). The level of skill achieved is entered in the federation passport issued at the end of the course. Apart from the enjoyment and excitement provided by this fast board, our instructors emphasise the skills required for independence and take account of your own personal goals.
