windsurf
like a pro

We offer a comprehensive range of courses: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Freestyle, and Wave. Our beginner courses are designed for everyone - whether you are trying the sport for the first time or refreshing your skills after a long break. The only requirement is that you are a confident swimmer.

You can learn windsurfing almost anywhere, but if we had to choose, it would be

Dahab (Egypt): a protected bay with perfectly flat water, ideal for those first steps.

Vassiliki (Greece): offers light on-shore winds in the mornings, perfect for learning the basics.

Karpathos (Greece): beginner courses take place in "Chicken Bay," where the water is shallow (mostly chest-deep) and completely flat.

Viganj (Croatia): light morning breezes allow for a quick and easy start to your learning journey.

Yes! At the Quiksilver Windsurf School, we pay special attention to families. We organize specialized courses for children (from age 4 and up) and "Young Guns & Pro Kids" (ages 10–15). At certain locations, such as Vassiliki, we also offer childcare during parent sessions and special family discounts.

We welcome children from the age of four. The main requirements are that the child can swim (at least with a life jacket) and is comfortable in the water. For our youngest surfers, we use specially adapted, ultra-light equipment and a play-based learning approach.

Absolutely! There is no upper age limit for windsurfing. Our courses are tailored to the individual, and our instructors ensure that learning is safe and gradual, regardless of age. General health and swimming ability are the only prerequisites.

Of course! Our camps are designed to be welcoming for solo travelers as well as those coming with friends. One of the greatest advantages of these trips is socializing with people who share the same passion and making new friendships.

Yes, our locations are carefully selected so that companions can enjoy them too. Dahab offers Arabian flair and desert excursions; Vassiliki has a pool and playground; and Rhodes offers excellent tavernas and island exploration. For non-surfing children, some centers (e.g., Club Vass) offer childcare and activities. Please note that when flight tickets are limited, we give priority to course participants, as that is our core activity.

Yes, this is possible at most destinations. For example, you can join us in Vassiliki by organizing your own travel by car or ferry. This is also standard practice for Viganj (Pelješac), where participants arrange their own transport and accommodation in camps or apartments. For other destinations we usually help you out with finding a perfect flight, and we can arrange your local transfer and accommodation if needed.

A standard package typically includes rental of the windsurf equipment, and the course with video analysis. Every participant also receives a "goodie bag" and a T-shirt. However, we can help you out with flights, local transfers and accommodation as well. If any of those are already included in the price for a specific destination, this is always clearly highlighted in the package description.

Package prices are explained at the destination and they usually cover the course with equipment rental and sometimes accommodation, food, and local transfer. Payment is usually made in stages: first, you receive an invoice for the windsurf course, other costs (local transfers, equipment rental) are typically settled on-site. We value loyalty and offer a €50 discount for returning guests, as well as special family discounts (e.g., a free course for the 4th family member).

At our camps, rental of top-tier equipment from leading brands is included in the package; we arrange this for you at our partner windsurf centers. You only need your own gear for one-day courses within our "Windsurf Alert" program.

At our camps, board and sail rental is included. In some locations, harness rental is also included, though usually there is a small surcharge for harnesses and wetsuits if you don't have your own. Any surcharges are always clearly marked on the website during registration. We recommend bringing sun protection and neoprene boots/gloves if you prefer using them (the QSWS team usually doesn't).

Yes, our packages include full-day equipment rental for the entire duration of the camp. While guided lessons last a specific number of hours per day, you can use the rest of the time for "free surfing" to practice what you've learned.

In case of no wind, we provide alternative activities such as SUP tours, snorkeling, yoga, stretching, or excursions to nature (e.g., desert canyons in Egypt). However, we always try to maximize the conditions - often using light wind for technique drills or light-wind freestyle tricks.

Some packages offer an optional equipment insurance surcharge, which covers potential damage to the gear while on the water. Each windsurf station has own rules and conditions that apply.

We recommend taking out international travel insurance and trip cancellation insurance . Both ensure peace of mind before and during your holiday, even if unexpected complications arise.

Camps are scheduled for fixed dates (e.g., March for Dahab, May for Morocco). Some dates fill up quickly and are marked as "Last Call." Once published, all camps in the season are carried out. Exceptions are made only for extreme logistical complications (such as Covid-19) - in such cases, we organise alternative "Windsurf Alert" one-day courses.

Certainly! We offer gift vouchers for windsurf courses, SUP trips, or complete experiences. Vouchers can be personalized with your photo and message and are dispatched in a gift envelope within 48 hours.
