Sailing out and back โ safety briefing, rigging your own gear, controlling the sail, your first independent runs and basic turn.
Turning and control โ improving steering and the control of the sail, getting comfortable with the basic turns, sailing further from shore on your own.
Understanding the wind - this is a game changer! Once you understand the wind angles, and you can control the sail, you will be able to go upwind and will be one step closer to an independent rider.
Consistency and range โ longer runs, sailing upwind, more autonomous decision-making, fast tack and first beach start attempts.
Ready for the next level โ light-wind starts, first gybe attempts, personalized feedback on what to work on next.
Gybe - start and finish the gybe in a controlled way, hold on with the clew first till the very end of the turn.
Into the harness โ hooking in, controlling power without burning out your arms.
Footstraps and speed โ your first steps toward planing.
Putting it together โ linking harness, footstraps and turns in real conditions.
Planing consistency โ staying powered up longer, smoother transitions between harness and footstraps.
The program will be adapted to your actual skills and needs, as we aim for individual approach to each student. We will estimate your level on the first day and we will teach you from there.
Waterstart fundamentals โ getting up without wasting energy. Beach start from waist to chest deep water and controlling the sail.
Footstraps at speed and first water start attempts, coached in real time.
Improving consistency of waterstart and planing in the footstraps.
First carve jibe attempts โ entering the jibe while planing, timing and foot placement.

The program will be adapted to your actual skills and needs, as we aim for an individual approach to each student. We will estimate your level on the first day and we will teach you from there. If the wind is light, we can also teach you low-wind freestyle and refinements โ polishing your technique, tackling your specific sticking points.
No โ the Beginner course starts from zero. We won't do a lot of theory, we will bring you on the water directly.
Just swimwear, a towel, and sun protection. Wetsuit, booties and all equipment are included in every course.
North Fuerteventura has reliable wind most of the year, but if conditions genuinely don't allow a class, we reschedule your session โ no charge.
We deliberately cap group size โ up to 6 people per instructor, and never more than two sessions running per day, so you get real attention, not just supervision. We mostly do 3-4 students per instructor.
Yes โ talk to your instructor. Extending into a longer package or the Windsurf Camp is common and easy to arrange on-site, subject to availability.
Yes. Lessons start in shallow, controlled water, your instructor is a certified lifeguard, and every course includes insurance. We also can provide lifejackets or helmets on demand.
