How We Teach Windsurfing – The Honuhele Method
From Beginner to Windsurfer in Just 2 Steps!
Step 1: Sail Handling
After a short theory session covering the basics of wind and water, you’ll quickly learn how to handle the sail. You’ll practice how to carry it, steer it, turn it, and most importantly, how to catch the wind.
Step 2: Windsurfing
Next, we hit the water! Wearing your wetsuit and life vest and equipped with a sail and a large SUP-style board, you’ll head out for your first windsurfing session in Portugal. You’ll refine your sail handling skills in calm conditions and light wind - and before you know it, you’ll be gliding on your own.
And just like that – you’re a windsurfer! Congratulations! 🤙
