Windsurfing is a surface water sport that combines elements of surfing and sailing. It consists of a board usually two to four meters long, powered by the orthogonal effect of the wind on a sail. The rig is connected to the board by a free-rotating universal joint and comprises a mast, wishbone boom and sail. The sail area ranges from less than 3.0 m2 to more than 12 m2 depending on the conditions, the skill of the sailor and the type of windsurfing being undertaken.
Windsurfing, as a sport and recreational activity, did not emerge until the later half of the 20th century. But before this, there have been sailing boats of various designs that have used wind as the driving force for millenniums, and Polynesians have been riding waves for many of them, undertaking day trips over oceans standing upright on a solid board with a vertical sail.
Windsurfing is suitable for children as young as 5.
Learning to windsurf used to present the biggest barrier to the sport's growth, but with the development of new 'wide-style' beginner boards the transition time from beginner to intermediate has been reduced. Learning to windsurf can be compared to chess in that there are many pieces moving in different directions which you have to keep track of. After a few goes most finally catch on. Whereas learning to kite board is more like learning checkers.
Many popular surfing destinations have surf camps or surf schools for beginners and intermediates. They are designed to take new surfers and help them become proficient riders. The Bol on island of Brač is one of the best destinations for learning and enjoying windsurfing. The warm sea, sunny days, and wind Maestral are ideal for windsurfing.
The best way to learn the technique of windsurfing is organized courses in school of windsurfing, under supervision of experienced instructors. You will master elementary technique after only few hours of course, and sail on your one board.
The island of Brac is the ideal destination for all the lovers of windsurfing but also for all those who want to try try themselves for the first time in this amazing discipline. Mistral Wind in Bol, south wind in Supetar and somewhat more demanding Bura in Povlja are enough of a challenge for any amateur or already experienced windsurfers.
Join us and reveal windsurfing charms! The feeling of freedom, power and beauty of windsurfing will overcome you at a glance!
