Windsurfing holidays

If you want to learn how to windsurf, inclusive sessions will cover the basics. You will learn rigging, launching, landing and sailing around a triangular course on all points of sail.

If you're looking to gain your Royal Yachting Association (RYA) 'Start Windsurfing' qualification and certificate, speak to one of our instructors when you arrive and you never know, wind and weather permitting, you could be taking home a qualification as well as a suntan.

RYA 'Start Windsurfing' for beginners is available in all beachclubs with the exception of Retreat Beachclub (as there's very little wind here). At La Pared we use the services of local schools, subject to availability and for a little extra.

You can already sail on all points in light winds and you’ve experienced the first part of the intermediate course (non planing). Now’s the time to start building on your skills to get the board planing. You’ll be working on faster tacks, using the harness and getting in the foot straps. There’ll also be sessions on beach starting and carve gybes.

We’ll need a bit of a breeze to get you planing, so head to Mar Menor, Baia dei Mori, Alana, Cosmos, Levante Beach, Messini or Buca Beachclubs if you want to join the intermediate (planing) windsurf sessions.

You’ll find boards and rigs for all levels, chosen to match the local conditions from brands such as Starboard, RRD and Fanatic. All you need to remember is your board shorts, rash vest and sun cream. We’ll take care of the rest. 

The exact kit list will vary depending on the wind conditions at each beachclub and the level of tuition offered. Check out the individual beachclub pages for a guide to the windsurf sails and boards we plan to have available for your use.

Come and join us for a fantastic windsurf clinic hosted by, and with coaching from the man himself, Peter Hart. The clinic will cover your individual needs and key skills such as early planing, stance and speed.

The clinic is held at one of our best windsurfing locations, Cosmos Beachclub in Vassiliki, Greece and will be taking place on 26 June 2022 for one week.

If you can already windsurf to a high level, then join us at Levante Beach Beachclub on the Greek island of Rhodes for your first experience of windsurf foiling. The feeling is best described as being closest to when you first get planing on a windsurf board and then some. It really does take it to another level.
