Frequently Asked Questions

What language are the windsurfing and kitesurfing classes held in?

All windsurfing classes are held in Polish or English. Kitesurfing classes are held in English.

What do I have to bring on the first lesson? Is there anything I should take with me on windsurfing / kitesurfing course?

Just take your swim suit (swimming costume, shorts, a t-shirt – as you wish), a towel, UV filter cream. If you have soft feet it is good to have beach shoes (can be bought at the spot). You will get all the necessary equipment for windsurfing/ kitesurfing from us.

Does the price of the course include the equipment rental?

Yes, the prices include complete equipment and the instructor for the duration of the course.

And what if I am afraid of water?

Every surfer is trained in accordance with his/her own abilities in all types and forms of classes. Every participant gets a compulsory life jacket which is an excellent source of buoyancy and facilitates flotation control after falling into the water. However, if you still want to gain confidence, we encourage you to take up individual classes, so that the instructor can overcome these barriers and take some time to explain the sea and the conditions, as well as to build your comfort zone.

What happens during a lesson?

First of all, it is great fun and active recreation on the water. The first lesson begins with a briefing on safety and good beach practice, then we learn to handle a windsurfing board/ a kite and then we go in the water and get first slides!
