OVERVIEW
If you have been watching windsurfers glide along the coast for a long time and would finally like to experience what it feels like to control the board and sail with your own movements, Windsurf in El Médano is a particularly exciting way to connect actively with the ocean. Here, you are not simply trying a sport: you gradually begin to feel the power of the wind, find your balance and understand how your body, the board and the sail work together.

Even as a complete beginner, you do not need any previous windsurfing experience. Lessons can start with the basics, and the instructor can adapt the practice to your skill level and progress. The first goal is not spectacular performance, but to understand the equipment, feel the wind and handle the windsurf board and sail with increasing confidence. Private lessons can be a particularly good choice if you would like more intensive personal attention, while a 2-person lesson allows you to discover the sport together.

If you already have windsurfing experience, the experience can move to an entirely different level. Advanced lessons are for those who are not looking for their first metres, but want to learn more precise technique, greater control and new movements. According to the provider, the instructors can support your development through more advanced technical elements, including jumps and wave riding.

Lessons take place in El Médano Bay, starting directly from the stretch of beach in front of the windsurfing centre. One of the major advantages of the location is that you do not need to travel with equipment. Wind and ocean conditions can naturally vary from day to day, so both the lesson and the selection of suitable equipment can be adapted to the current conditions.

A particularly useful feature is the BBtalkin two-way radio communication. Thanks to this, the instructor can give you advice not only from the shore or during occasional stops, but can also communicate with you directly while you are on the water. This can help you correct a movement immediately, better understand what you need to change and build your next attempt more consciously.

You do not need to bring your own equipment for the windsurfing lesson. The necessary windsurfing equipment, wetsuit and harness are provided, and equipment insurance is also included with the lesson.

This programme is particularly suitable for those who do not just want to watch windsurfing on one of Tenerife's best-known windy stretches of coastline, but would like to turn the wind and the ocean into their own experience. Whether you are looking for the joy of your first successful metres or want to develop further in a sport you already know, the focus remains throughout on giving you a challenge suited to your own level.

FINESTPASS™ PRO tip
• leave some flexibility in your holiday plans, because for windsurfing the right wind is much more important than sticking to a fixed time at all costs
• if you would like to learn the basics more seriously, it is worth considering a multi-session package instead of a single trial lesson; the centre itself recommends the 6-hour package for those who want to gain practical theoretical and hands-on foundations
• with a multi-session package, ask whether you can continue with the same instructor whenever possible, so that each new session can build more easily on the previous one
• tell the instructor or the on-site team as precisely as possible what experience you have and what you would like to practise; the personalised assistance and equipment adapted to your skill level
• do not take your personal valuables with you onto the water; lockers and storage spaces are available at the centre
• your own towel and dry clothes will be useful after the programme, and after returning the equipment you can also take a shower on site
