    testimonials

    "Amazing experience for our two teenage boys. The instructor worked with them closely for about 15 mins and then had them up on their own - occasionally sailing out to give them some tips. Really fun, laid back experience."

    Kralendijk Jessica Anderson

    "Great place for a windsurfing lesson! Giovanni was an excellent coach! Giovanni took some time on the beach to explain the workings of the board and sail. Then he followed behind me and shouted encouragement and directions. After an hour, I had learned enough that he let me go on my own. I was windsurfing! When he saw I was struggling to get back toward shore, he came out and coached me through it. Excellent teacher! Thanks for the great experience!"
