Windsurfing for kids
The Windsurf Camp isn’t just a summer day camp: it’s a structured programme designed to introduce young people to windsurfing and guide them along a path of sporting growth.
During camp weeks, children discover and practise windsurfing every day under the guidance of qualified instructors, following a method that builds technique, safety and independence on the water.
Learning this sport also means picking up some basic theory: understanding the wind, safety at sea, the parts of a windsurf, knots and so on.
Because we consider these basics essential, every day includes a theory session, using teaching methods that include a simulator, and practice at sea.
And it doesn’t end there
Thanks to the great conditions at our spot, where you can windsurf all year round, the Windsurf Camp is the start of a longer journey.
For those who want to keep improving, they can join our sports team: the ideal setting to keep learning and turn this first experience into a real passion and a proper sport.
If you’re looking for something beyond the usual summer camp, combining fun and sports training, the Kids Windsurf Camp is the perfect way to introduce your children to the sea and sailing sports, with a real chance to continue beyond the summer.

Fantastic centre with skilled, friendly instructors who really got our little windsurfer involved and motivated! (translated from Italian)
Fantastic summer camp! The team is very skilled and great with kids… extremely patient. It’s my son’s second year and he’ll definitely do the camp again next year. Highly recommended! (translated from Italian)
My daughter did a weeks course of windsurfing and it was nothing short of amazing. The instructors were welcoming and friendly and just being outdoors and doing something different was refreshing. We were looking for a course that allowed for a new activity , being in a team and being outdoors; the windsurfing course offered all that. After the first lesson she already told me she wanted to go back next year. Highly recommend it !!!
Always there but never intrusive: Giulio, Giacomo and Aurora are TOP instructors. The Talamone clinic was a super experience!! Great group of fellow students too. (translated from Italian)
Why windsurfing?
- Builds coordination and balanceWindsurfing helps children improve motor coordination and balance, key skills for their physical development.
- Boosts self-confidenceTaking on new challenges and learning to handle the wind and the sea helps children feel more confident in their abilities.
- Connects kids with natureBeing outdoors, at sea and away from screens is a unique chance to reconnect with the environment and appreciate the natural world.
- Encourages teamworkEven though windsurfing is an individual sport, at camp children learn to work together, support each other and make new friends.
- Teaches resilienceFalling in and climbing back on the board is part of learning. It teaches kids not to give up and to see mistakes as chances to improve.
