When & where should I go?

Nov - April

November to April are ideal months for windsurfing in Le Vauclin and Les Saintes. Strong winds and waves, pleasant water temperature and less crowding on the beaches make them optimal destinations for surfers.

May - June
From May to June, the strong mistral wind blows over Giens and Port Barcares, making these ideal destinations for windsurfing.

July - August
The best destination this time of year is undoubtedly Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, Canary Islands. Here you will find strong winds and waves! There are also favorable conditions for windsurfing in our destinations in France.

How fast can I learn?

Learning to windsurf is exciting to say the least, but one of the most common questions beginners ask themselves is "How fast can I learn?"

The answer to that question depends on several factors, including your previous experience in similar sports and your level of commitment. But one thing is certain - whatever your starting point, you can expect to make significant progress during your time with UCPA.

For beginners, it's all about mastering the basic techniques at first, then you can expect to be able to stand on the board and make short sails. With dedication and practice, you can quickly develop your skills and feel more confident. The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the amazing feeling of gliding over the water with the help of the wind. So, how fast you learn depends on your attitude and commitment, but with UCPA's support you will make great progress!

Explore windsurfing for the first time or continue to develop with UCPA! With the latest and more manageable equipment, windsurfing becomes an exciting sport for anyone who wants to give it a go. Mastering windsurfing may require some patience and perseverance, but once you learn how to balance on the board and overcome the initial challenges, the rest will flow like a dance.

A typical day
On the first day, the group gathers with the instructor to go over the week's schedule, which usually includes both morning and afternoon sessions. Before heading out on the water, the instructor will give a thorough safety briefing and instructions on the equipment. During the week, the instructor will customize their advice and tips to maximize your personal development, allowing you to reach your full potential.
