Spanish and Windsurf

The Spanish element of this course is exactly the same as Course A, with two grammar classes and two conversation classes daily. You will have three windsurf classes per week: Spanish classes are in the morning, and windsurf in the afternoon. The windsurf classes are held at Montevideo's highly professional and well-known Yacht Club, on the Río de la Plata. You will receive one-to-one tuition, or you can book classes with a partner. The classes are available at all levels, from total beginners to advanced windsurfers, and the windsurf coach will adapt the programme accordingly. On the first day, you will be accompanied to the yacht club, introduced to the coach, and instructed on how to get there independently for the rest of the classes (a short bus ride away). In the case of bad weather, classes will be cancelled and, where possible, rescheduled for another day. All equipment is provided; you should wear suitable clothing.

What can I expect to learn?

Beginners can expect to learn how to set up the board and rig, the principles of windsurfing and the basic techniques and postures needed to get out on the water.

Those with some experience will be able to sail further from the shore, try out manouvers, improve their technique, learn new skills, or simply windsurf for fun.
