Windsurfing
With flat warm water, consistent wind through the summer and plenty of sunshine, the Algarve is a great place to windsurf.
Working with the best windsurf schools in the area, we have a great selection of courses for all levels and ages. With high qualified instructors and the latest equipment to make learning easy, you’ll be up and riding in the wind in no time.
We offer a wide range of courses, from beginner to intermediate and have great courses for children too!
With beautiful flat waters, consistent wind and glorious sunshine the Algarve is the perfect place to learn to windsurf! We can also arrange windsurf equipment hire, if you’re experienced and don’t fancy flying with all your kit.
Where?
Lessons and Rentals are available on Praia da Luz and Maia Praia in Lagos
When?
Best conditions are in May – September, however there is still a high chance you’ll get wind outside of these months!
