Windsurfing Barbados

Windsurfing Lessons Barbados

At Bodie's School of Surf, we're pleased to offer windsurfing lessons in one of the best places to learn: Barbados! 

Contrary to popular belief windsurfing is actually one of the easiest of the four disciplines to learn.

We utilise special beginner boards and sails that are designed to be ultra stable and lightweight in order to minimise the amount of physical effort required.

Although a solid "core" workout is one of the many advantages to be gained from windsurfing, we try to ensure your workout is achieved by actually windsurfing and not just from lifting a heavy sail out of the water. 

​"
Strength is achieved not required!"
The Barbados windsurfing school is located in Maxwell just 2 minutes away from the famous fishing town of Oistins in the south of the island.

​The lessons are conducted on a quiet beach in 
Oistins Bay (pictured above). In the event of unsuitable conditions the lesson may be relocated or postponed to ensure safety and provide the most ideal learner conditions.
As with surfing, we specialize in private beginner tuition for individuals, couples, families and small groups in order to maximize your potential and overall experience. This also includes scheduling the lessons to best suit the needs of the students. ​
Windsurfing Lessons are available for all levels, with advanced coaching in gybing, waterstarting, jumping, freestyle and wave sailing offered strictly on a private one on one basis.
