This course is designed to allow plenty of time for developing personal skills on the water and it is suitable for beginners and early intermediates.

The first two weeks provide intensive foundation training, including personal performance coaching and first aid. The next two weeks are the core of the skill-building programme. You windsurf every day under the guidance of expert coaches, who guarantee to improve your performance on the water. 

Finally you enter two weeks of instructor training, focusing on the coaching techniques needed to inspire beginners. You will develop an imaginative approach to teaching safe and efficient windsurfing, as well as the theory that underlies it. We make sure you have time to learn and practise all the necessary skills before being examined. 

To gain the instructor qualification you will need to demonstrate RYA Intermediate Non-planing windsurfing ability, good communication skills, an understanding of RYA training, in-depth theory knowledge, group management ability, safety awareness and an effective coaching style.
