Program
The two-week windsurfing course consists of 10 hours and is divided into three parts:
Part 1
Put equipment into the water, rig, get the sail out of the water, turn the board 360 degrees in both directions, sail 10 meters, and return against the wind.
- Objective: To be capable of preparing your equipment, keep your sail out of the water, go, and return without falling
Part 2
Practice slalom against the wind, get up against the wind, change directions without stopping, and gybe.
- Objective: To be able to sail within the slalom course without stopping and without falling, to sail, and return to the same spot
Part 3
To know how to utilize the wind, to sail in less windy conditions, to take advantage of the optimum wind, to find the greatest speed, and to change directions without losing speed. The level obtained at the end of the course will not be the same for each student.
The windsurf sessions run between Monday and Friday after the Spanish language course (from about 3:00 pm) and sometimes at the weekends in the morning. Between mid of July and mid of September, the courses mainly take place during the weekends in the morning.
If the course is completed earlier than expected due to ideal wind conditions, windsurf gear can be rented from the school (subject to availability) with a 10% discount. Maximum participants per group are 4.
Standard Spanish lessons
There are 4 lessons daily (50 minutes each) in which the 4 skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) are integrated with a practical approach and communicative practice. From Monday to Friday, the schedule is from 9:30 am - 1:30 pm, with a half-hour break at 11:30 am. Classes consist of a maximum of eight students.
Location
This surf camp will take place in Tarifa, Spain. Both the beach and the town center can also be reached on foot within a few minutes from your accommodation.
Tarifa
Tarifa is located in Andalucia at the Southern tip of Spain where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic meet. The African continent lies only 14 kilometers away and can be reached by ferry directly. The Arabic influence reflects in the alleys and colorful flower-decorated courtyards.
Mass tourism has never made it down here. The local inhabitants (16,000 people) support their Spanish language programs. Spanish is the only language for communicating with the locals because most of them do not speak any foreign languages.
This small town became popular because of the variety of outdoor sport activities it offers, especially windsurfing and kitesurfing. Tarifa guarantees you the balance of a 'work and play' holiday. In spite of the recent foreign influences, the traditions are still very much alive here.
