This is a fabulous Windwise experience, with dedicated Windwise coaching and personalised 1-2-1 feedback to really target what you're trying to master. We do loads of lighter wind skills and drills to enhance your sailing and level.

We will make it a really great experience with dedicated Windwise coaching on and off water plus guiding, local knowledge and socials. In the event of no wind, this still goes ahead as we arrange other optional adventures, SUP, bike and foil.

Unsure of your level and if it's right for the week for you?  
If you can sail on the coast and can waterstart a sub 120L board, you can join us in El Medano.

We're there to help you develop your skills, confidence, commitment and enjoyment on the water.

Our Windwise Freewave session El Medano is best for those who can waterstart, sail a sub 120L board and are looking to break that blast and gybe plateau. In the South Bay where the TWS centre is based we get a mix of Freeride blasting, easy bump and jump and rolling swell. If you venture upwind to the 'harbour wall (optional) 'you'll get a nice little reef break to ease you into very accessible waves when the swell is up. For the more adventurous you can commute further up to Cabezo Beach, which has hosted many world cup wave events.

 

The perfect Windwise winter escape and tune up to Learn, Burn & Turn in El Medano Bay. If you can sail on the sea you can sail El Medano

Windsurfing In El Medano, Tenerife

Tenerife is one of the more popular islands in the Canary Islands for windsurfing and we're looking at a last minute trip to escape the winter! We will base ourselves in El Medano, which is a fabulous windsurfing location on the southern tip of the island. It's a huge windsurfing beach which is famous for flat water on the inside, rolling swell out back and two optional wave breaks - The 'Harbour Wall' an easy intro to waves & El Cazebo where world cup wave events have been held. We will be operating out of TWS Centre which is based in the best part of the beach and is stacked to the roof with kit for you to use!

Come And Join Us

Freeride Blasting in the bay and then a mix of conditions depending on the swell. If you have sailed on the sea and can waterstart you can sail El Medano and it is a great place to develop your overall ability and ride some easy waves and swell too - we're there to help and guide you!

El Medano offers a perfect mix of flat water, rolling swell and waves, so expect a destination that will offer real variety. It's a good place for an introduction to waves, launching through small waves and moving your windsurfing on to another level. Winter is not the Canaries windiest time, but it does offer a decent option for a winter escape and Tenerife has a history of being one of the best Canary Islands in February with regards to wind. Simon Bornhoft used to test for Boards Magazine in El Medano every Feb for over 10 years, so know's the place well and feel's it a good alternative to Egypt and much cheaper than traveling to the Caribbean in UK winter time. 

Off the water you'll get a taste sensation with fresh fish, endless tapas and of course that apres windsurfing Dorado beer, plus the renowned WINDWISE socials, location guiding and adventures.  

Develop your skills and learn to ride waves!           Stunning large bay and back drop.

 

Is It Right For Me?

Our Tenerife Freewave windsurfing holiday & clinic is aimed at intermediate to advanced intermediate windsurfers looking to move their shorter board windsurfing onto another level and break away from that blast and turn routine. Whether that's moving onto smaller boards, coping with some lumps and bumps, generally gain confidence or skills for more challenging conditions or kit. Plus we'll show you how to catch your first wave or improve your existing wave skills. It's a great place to get inspired, try new moves, kit and just escape in the winter and.... with WINDWISE, we give your windsurfing that accelerated progression! (You must be able to sail/waterstart a sub 120L board to be part of this course)

During the week our Skills Training System will cover, wave board super early planing, higher speed control, wave stances, quick short board tacks, gybe variations, finding, catching, riding and dealing with waves. Plus we will have a whole bunch of fun expression sessions, skills and specific drills to move your sailing along.
