Dahab

10. Windsurfing in Dahab

Dahab is situated in the wind chanel of the Gulf of Aqaba. Because of pressure differences between the hot dessert and the sea, the wind is blowing at almost 300 days a year at 4 Bft. and above, providing perfect conditions for windsurfing.
In summer when temperature raises up to 40 degress this spot turns into a high wind area(7 bft+) with constant wind all day and night. August and September are the best month for Dahab windsurfing, unless you're not afraid of the hot sun. In the morning the wind blows a little offshore but in the afternoon it turns to sideshore from the left.

Naxos

8. Naxos

Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades island group in the Aegean Sea. Hora, the largest city and capital of the island (sometimes called Naxos City) has about 7,000 inhabitants. Mount Zas on Naxos is the highest peak in the Cyclades ((1,004 m). According to mythology, the young Zeus was raised in a cave on Mt. Zas ("Zas" meaning "Zeus").
On Naxos, you can enjoy waist-deep lagoon and a wave spot in a single location. The lagoon is protected by the reef and has sandy seabed. Inside the lagoon conditions are great for freestyle and slalom. There is a marked gateway at the offshore reef, showing the way to the wave spot. The waves (usually from 1 to 2.5 m high) provides excellent jumping and backside riding conditions. The windsurfing season on Naxos lasts from May to October. Summer months, when meltelmi blows, are the best time to go.

Basic Windsurfing Gear

Basic Windsurfing Gear

Basic windsurfing gear consists of all of the parts of the actual windsurfer board and the accessories that are worn by windsurfers or used to store or maintain their boards.
The basic windsurfer consists of the board, sail, and rig. The board is usually made of a composite of materials and has a rear fin for steering. The board might also have a center rib or fin underneath for additional stability or steering ease. The sail provides the propulsion for the windsurfer and sails come in various sizes depending upon the type of windsurfing being done and the expertise of the rider. The part of windsurfing gear known as the rig consists of three additional parts.
The rig consists of a boon, mast, and mast base. The boon is the harness loop that the windsurfer grips to turn the mast and sail to steer the board. The mast is the pole that is turned by the boom and to which the said is attached. The mast base is the swivel joint where the mast fits into the board. It is a swivel joint to allow the mast to be easily turned.
Although the original windsurfer was made of polyethylene, most modern boards are made of an expanded polystyrene foam core between a sandwich of carbon fiber, Kevlar, or fiberglass in a matrix of epoxy. The racing boards are light in weight averaging between 5 and 7 kilograms. The boards designed for beginners are generally heavier weighting between 8 and 15 kilograms. The sails are usually made from mono film Dacron and Mylar reinforced by a Kevlar mesh.

Dominican Republic

6. Windsurfing & Kitesurfing in Cabarete

In the morning wind conditions in Cabarete are good for beginners or children: the wind is very light and the water tends to be flat. In the afternoon the wind increases for intermediate and expert level windsurfing, and blows until 6 p.m. The normal wind direction is South-East, cross offshore.
Cabarete Bay has a sandy bottom, with only a few spots of reef in the inner bay that are quite easy to avoid. The offshore reef is about 600m away from the beach. The great advantage of Cabarete windsurfing is that here in one place you have two types of sailing conditions - waves and flat water. Beginners and intermediates will feel comfortable inside the reef, where flat water (or chop sometimes) are optimal for learning and practicing new elements. More ambitious windsurfers can go to the reef for wave sailing.
During the winter windsurfing season (December to April), the wind is less constant but wave freaks can ride down reef waves up to 4 m in height. This period is great to learn and practice wave sailing. Average sail size for mid-sized Male: 5.7m2.
The period from June to September is the summer windsurfing season in the Dominican Republic. The wind tends to be stronger than in winter. Waves are not as consistent as in other periods, but flatter waters are great for slalom sailing. Average sail size for mid-sized Male: 5.3m2.

Windsurfing Outfit for summer

Windsurfing Outfit for summer

Always look for an outfit that will give you comfort. This is because without being comfortable in it, you will not find it easy trying to move about or even manipulating the windsurf board. Go in for those outfits made using neoprene. Also remember that these will vary in thickness. This will also depend on the warmth or coldness of the waters that you intend getting into. If you are a learner, make sure you know about the hotness or coldness of the waters before you pay for a windsurfing outfit. Remember that you will be in the waters for longer periods and continuous contact with the waters might pose serious hazard to your health.

This additional material is meant to give room for flexibility during windsurfing. When selecting the windsurfing outfit, make sure you go in for one that will last longer. Remember that you will be using this for longer periods. And of course, outfits with so many features attached to it sometimes do not last longer.

Canary Islands

3. Canary Islands


Canary Islands are an amazing place where the worst and the best are existing together. Here you'll find the overcrowded areas of mass tourism, and in a short distance from these resorts -tiny fishing villages and old small towns, that still preserve their charm and originality. The Canaries are concreted shorelines, tacky apartments and crowds, which you meet in Las Americas on Tenerife, or Los Ingleses on Gran Canaria, but at the same time, the Canaries are pristine nature and beautiful beaches.
And, what is the most important, Canary Islands are easy escape from European winter. Here even in winter months the temperature does not drop below 15 degrees.
