Here are some of the best spots for learning to windfoil, where warm water, safe learning conditions and flat lagoons are combined. These destinations also feature world-class windsurfing centres that stock the best equipment and boast expert instruction along with amazing accommodation to make your holiday complete.
Golf De Roses in Spain’s Costa Brava is a leader when it comes to learning to windfoil. They have one of the best and most up to date windsurf schools in the world, set on a stunning wide beach, and stocking the latest equipment from North and Fanatic.
You can enjoy one on one lessons in the sport or join one of their brand new windfoiling clinics. Here thermal winds blow cross on from the southeast, gradually picking up during the day and the gentle morning breeze is perfect for those having their first go at windsurfing or learning to foil.
Your best chances of catching the thermal winds are between May and September. When you are not foiling you can even learn to kitesurf or enjoy the bay on a stand up paddle board.
This is also a great spot for non windsurfing partners or family members with use of a restaurant, pool, spa and chill-out roof terrace on the site at the centre.
