Viganj / Croatia
Courses:Pelješac has long been the legendary summer "home away from home" for windsurfers. It’s a place where the rhythm of nature dictates the day, with glassy mornings and reliable thermal winds in the afternoon - a combination that has made countless riders fall in love with this spot. The channel between the Pelješac peninsula and the island of Korčula acts as a natural wind tunnel. Every afternoon, the Maestral wind kicks in, cooling down the summer heat and drawing hundreds of windsurfers and kiters to the water.
Our windsurf camp in Viganj includes professional BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE, ADVANCED and FREESTYLE courses, plus dedicated courses for KIDS and YOUNG GUNS. All the spots in 2026 are sold out - you can join us again in 2027!

WINDSURF SPOT & CENTRE
Surf Ponta is the newest windsurfing addition to Viganj. It offers a perfect blend of professional service, a prime location, and the latest premium gear from NeilPryde and JP-Australia. Situated right at "Ponta," the very heart of the windsurfing action, the team brings the same passion to coaching everyone from first-timers to experienced riders. To round off your active day, they offer a wide selection of SUP boards for calm mornings, while the station’s laid-back atmosphere is the perfect spot for some post-surf socializing.
Viganj is a windsurfing mecca where the channel between the Pelješac peninsula and Korčula island acts as a natural wind funnel. The spot is famous for its safe environment and crystal-clear waters, where the Maestral wind provides consistent conditions without heavy chop—perfect for mastering planing, jibes, or foiling.
Wind statistic (July–August): 70–80% of windy days. // Force: Morning: 5–10 knots (glassy water), afternoon: 15–25 knots (thermal Maestral) // Vibe: Versatile conditions—mornings are dedicated to first steps and SUP, while afternoons are all about blasting with sails between 5.0 and 7.5 m2 or foiling.
FOOD & ACCOMMODATION
There are several popular campsites (Ponta, Maestral) located in the immediate vicinity of the windsurf center, offering everything from traditional camping spots to modern mobile homes and luxury RV pitches. If you prefer the comfort of an apartment, a wide variety of options across all price ranges are just a few minutes' walk away. Most apartments feature stunning panoramic views of the Pelješac Channel and the windsurfing action.
When it comes to dining, Viganj offers complete flexibility. While guests in campsites often opt for self-catering (with a local grocery store just a short walk away), the village has plenty to offer for those who prefer to eat out. Right next to the center is Pizzeria Ponta, well-known for its excellent pizzas, fresh seafood, and affordable prices. For the perfect "après-surf" experience, head to the popular K2 bar or Čiringito, where you can enjoy a cocktail and a chilled vibe right by the water's edge.
WINDSURF COURSES & ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
If you're looking to mix windsurfing and SUPing with some morning yoga, cycling, or sightseeing, Viganj is the perfect base. Every morning and evening, a small taxi boat runs directly from the beach to Korčula town, where you can explore the historic medieval streets or enjoy a seafood dinner. For nature lovers, a hike up Mt. Sveti Ilija is a must for the best panoramic views of the entire archipelago, while wine enthusiasts should definitely explore the local vineyards and cellars that Pelješac is famous for.
While Korčula offers a broader nightlife scene, Pelješac keeps the energy high with the legendary K2 and Čiringito bars in Viganj, as well as the popular Hookah Bar in Orebić.
