Windsurf Portugal Courses

Extreme Sports Cafés’ new partner Portugal Windsurfing School is located in a beautiful unspoiled area with no big buildings and large crowds and offers courses and lessons from May to September. With Atlantic beaches were you can still walk around the primitive dunes and with no crowds. Come and learn how to windsurf with Extreme Sports Cafe on a Windsurfing Holiday in Portugal.

Extreme Sports Cafes’ new partner Portuguese Watersports Centre offers both Windsurfing and Kitesurfing instruction between May and September. Our partner Portuguese Watersports Centre is located in the northwest of Portugal, near the town of Aveiro, in a picturesque fisherman Village. This Water-sports centre was opened in 1997, due to the efforts of two windsurfers who wanted to provide good support for water-sports locally. 

The nearest big city with airport is Porto at about 80 Km from the spot. The Portuguese Tourist Board licensed the Portuguese Watersports Centre in 2000. In 2000 they began the Kitesurfing School and were the first official Portuguese school of the international Wipika School network. Since then it has evolved, and is now recognised, both national and international, for the quality of the infrastructure, services, customer support and staff.

Windsurfing books we recommend...

Windsurfing: The Complete Guide

Author: Ian Currer

I chose this book because I had already read Touching Cloudbase  (A book on paragliding by the same author) and found it excellent.
I was not disapointed, this is very comprehensive and answered all the questions I had, not only about improving my sailing but about buying stuff, setting up your gear etc. which is well worth the cover price alone. Great Pictures and illustrations too.

Written in a very easy untechnical style, and well suited to the beginner and to someone like me trying to improve. Not much good to experienced windsurfers or competitors though. Recommended.

Windsurfing: The Essential Guide to Equipment and Techniques

Author: Simon Bornhoft

What is it that makes windsurfing addictive and draws millions of people to lakes, harbors and coastlines around the world whenever the wind's up?

Beginners will be able to get on their board with a minimum of delay and intermediate windsurfers will be able to advance their techniques and improve on their weaknesses. The emphasis is on easy-to-follow instructions accompanied by clear illustrations. Safety issues and how to read the weather are addressed. Recommended.
