Frequently asked questions

Absolutely. Windsurfing is one of the most versatile and accessible water sports, ideal for getting started at any age. We use wide, stable boards with high buoyancy and small, light sails for beginners, which makes those first balancing moments much easier. Dénia's sheltered bay, with calm water and shallow depth near the shore, is a perfect and safe setting to learn. We accept students from age 8 with gear sized to fit them, and our family lessons are very popular.
Windsurfing delivers very quick early results: in a single session most students can already raise the sail, stand up and travel a few metres. With a three-session beginner course you master basic steering, turns and sailing out and back to shore with a degree of autonomy. From there, refining upwind sailing, tacking and planing is a matter of practice. It's a very rewarding sport to start with and offers plenty of scope for anyone who wants to keep progressing.
Dénia bay is especially favourable for windsurfing thanks to the Levante, a soft, steady thermal wind that comes in from the sea in the afternoon. For learning, this stable 8 to 18 knot breeze is ideal because it doesn't generate large waves inside the sheltered bay and lets you practise safely. Mornings tend to be calmer, perfect for younger learners and first steps. We tailor the lesson to each day's forecast and choose the best moment for your level.
The course includes board, sail and full rig matched to your level, wetsuit, buoyancy aid and a qualified instructor. For beginners we also use a land simulator that greatly speeds up learning the stance and basic movements before getting in the water. You only need to bring a swimsuit, a rash vest or sun protection, sunglasses with a strap, a towel and water. At the club you'll find showers, changing rooms, lockers and a seafront dining area to relax after the session.
