Learn to Windsurf
The Club Vass approach to windsurfing lessons has been tried and tested over the last 18 years - and it works! We've always been at the forefront and have been influential in developing the RYA's FastForward teaching methods (which we incorporate into our windsurfing lessons). Our tuition program is fully included in your holiday price.
World-class Instruction
Our team is the highest qualified in the world, boasting more RYA level 5 instructors than any other centre. These highly motivated professionals have a relaxed, friendly approach that cannot fail to motivate you. Many of our instructors move around the world with us so you'll recognise familiar faces in unusual places! We also run special clinics with guest instructors from the pro circuit, so keep an eye on our website for full details.
