Frequently asked questions
Is windsurf harder than kitesurf?
Generally windsurf is easier to start, harder to master. Most people are up and sailing in 2 hours. Kitesurf takes 3 days to ride but progresses faster afterwards. Both are doable in a week-long trip.
What gear do you have?
Beginner wide boards (150–200 L), intermediate freeride boards (110–140 L), advanced slalom and wave setups, plus windfoil rigs. Sails from 3.5 m² to 8.5 m² in current model years (2024–2025).
When is wind season in the Mexican Caribbean?
November through June, with peak conditions March to May (consistent 18–25 knots, side-on shore). Outside that, wind is less predictable and August–October is hurricane/low-wind season.
Can beginners really learn in one session?
A 2-hour intro lesson is enough to get most people tacking, jibing and going upwind on a beginner board. Full independence usually takes 2–3 days of lessons. After that you can rent independently.
Do I need to be fit?
Basic swimming + moderate fitness. Windsurf uses legs and core more than arms — with harness and footstraps, even long sessions are manageable. We adapt rig size and lesson intensity to your level.
Can I do windsurf and kitesurf in the same trip?
Yes — many riders do both. We offer combined windsurf + kitesurf packages with the same team, same school, same booking process. Take advantage of having two world-class wind sports in one spot.
What if there's no wind?
No wind = no charge. We monitor forecasts 48 hours ahead and reschedule. If your trip is short and we can't find a window, we refund in full or credit the session.
Do you rent gear independently?
Yes, to riders with VDWS Level 3 (or equivalent) proof of skill. If you don't have certification but can sail upwind we offer supervised rentals with a safety boat. Beginners always start with lessons.
Can I bring my own gear?
Absolutely. Supervised sessions, rig-repair services and airline bag tips available. Storage on-site during your trip if you don't want to haul gear between hotel and spot.
Do you offer windfoil instruction?
Yes. Windfoil progression coaching for intermediate+ riders with 3+ years of classic windsurf. We have dedicated foil boards and wings in a range of sizes.
