FlexiBreeze System
The course days do not need to be consumed consecutively but can be flexibly divided after consultation. To achieve the greatest learning progress possible, it is recommended to attend the course days in close succession. If weather or wind conditions don’t suit your course, the course can easily be postponed.
WSVO Windsurfing Basic License
Many surf stations require a basic license to prove basic surfing knowledge and to be able to rent windsurfing equipment. Our 5-day basic courses and 2-day intensive courses can be completed with the internationally recognized WSVO Windsurfing License after passing a small theory exam. Depending on the learning process and individual skills, the license can also be obtained after a 4-day course. For children aged 8 to 12 years, a Junior Windsurfing License can be issued after attending a 5-day Children’s Basic Course.
Please let us know upon course entry if you are interested in obtaining a windsurfing license, so we have sufficient time to prepare you for the theoretical part as well.
In addition to our regular courses, we organize surf camps and courses with special focus, including children’s windsurf camps, advanced camps, harness training, windsurf ladies’ camps, and freestyle camps. The upcoming dates will be announced on our website and our social media channels.
We offer special School Sports Courses for school groups.
