The perfect location

---

Our courses are held in Bahia de Formas, an exceptional place, which is located in Gran Canaria, the windiest island of the Canary islands, only 4 kilometers from one of the most famous spots in the world of windsurfing, POZO IZQUIERDO. It is a flat-water spot, which makes it ideal for beginners, freeride, slalom, freestyle or foil. For learning it is especially ideal because:

• The flat water makes it really easy to learn.

• By having a good wind intensity the process of learning is much more fun and efficient.

  You can reach the level of planning a lot faster than other spots in the world.

• The material are very close to the shore, facilitating any equipment change that is necessary during the class. This will help further progression in the students.

Our Courses

Pozowinds offer classes at all ages and levels. Each student will have individualized attention depending on his level, no matter if you are a complete beginner, learning the waterstart or want to improve your sailing position. The classes provides the students with the equipment necessary ( wetsuit, shoes, harness, life jacket etc.), and the appropriate material for the level of the student and the strength of the wind. For the beginner course we have a maximum of 3 students per instructor, and for kids we have  always 1 instructor per child. 

Each class will begin with a theoretical and practical explanation on a simulator, going through the goals of the day. We also go through everything about safety. Then we will go to the water to practice. During the class you will receive instructions from the instructor and your material will be changed as many times as necessary for good and fast progress.

Our goal is not only to offer an effective windsurf education, but also to create a meeting point where the students can come to learn and improve windsurfing in a healthy, friendly and sporty enviroment.

Private windsurfing lessons and clinics:

Good windsurfing is based on technique and feeling. It is easy to get bad habits that can stop your progress. Pozowinds offer improvement lessons and clinics during which you will never stop learning, no matter what your level is. Our clinics are held both in Bahia de Formas and in Pozo. 

Pozowinds will record you using high definition cameras while you are windsurfing and continually help you to learn and improve. In particual we pride ourselves of helping advanced students achieve their goals such as forward loops, back loops, wave riding and smooth lay down carve jibes.
