Safety:
Your safety is our focus. With long experience on the water in any conditions our instructors are well equipped to choose locations and to lead the lessons in a safe way. If needed we will bring a safety boat along.  All the participants are responsible for their own safety and damage on third person.v We make sure that every participant confirms these conditions when registering on to the course.

Prices:

Age:
Minimum age is 10 year due to height and strength. Average age the last season was approx. between 25 and 35! Upper limit doesn’t exist. Oldest windsurfer I’ve met in Kristiansand was 76 years old.

Locations:
Høllen and Åshavn are the main locations.

We are mobile and move the lessons to a spot of your desire. Ask for more information.
Hamresanden is for beginnes and a very safe spot. Åshavn is for intermediate and packs a lot of stable wind. The safe alternative if you want power in your sail.

Length:
If the weather conditions are splendid, the lessons last approx. 2 hours.

Weather:
Our instructors are watching the forecasts ahead of a lesson. We will give you a message with 2-3 days warning if the weather is closing us down. The basic rule is 2-10 m/s wind speed and +15 degrees in air and water, no matter rain or sun. Anything outside that rule will be evaluated by our instructors due to safety.

Clothing and wet suits:
Make sure to bring warm clothing and put them on as soon as possible after the lesson. You will need to bring your’e own wetsuit because we don’t have any rentals.

Changing rooms and toilets:
We have small changing room with a shower and toilet. Make sure to bring something that you can change behind like a towel.

Food and drinks:
It’s important that you bring some water and energy. Water activities like windsurfing consumes a lot of energy and the risk of dehydration is real. Drink before, during and after the lesson and make sure to eat something when you get out of the water. This will also help you getting warm.
