Windsurf

Windsurfing course

Are you a windsurfer or would you like to get closer to this discipline?
Windsurfing is a game of balance and strength that allows you to experience extraordinary thrills in relative safety.

The Sports Service offers basic courses in which instruction by our instructors and equipment suitable for beginners and intermediates will be provided.

Once they have reached the level suitable for getting out on the water safely, the participants can continue the activity independently at the Porlezza nautical base.

Level

A passion for water and consistency in training are required to learn it. For the most gifted, a level can be reached within 3-5 lessons, and for the others, at least 10-15 training sessions are required.

On request, courses can be organised for young people from the age of 14.

Period

The courses, and activities on the water, will be held in May, June, August and September on Lake Lugano, during July at the nautical base in Greece.

Course dates, depending on weather and wind conditions, will be communicated via Whatsapp chat at least 2 days in advance. Follow this link to join the group and stay updated on upcoming courses.

Participants

Individual courses will be open to a maximum number of 3 participants per instructor. The course will be held in both Italian and English, with Italian being preferred.

Knowledge required

It is essential to be able to swim in open water and have a minimum of physical fitness, in particular a good sense of balance will facilitate learning on the board.
