Windsurfing is one of the most beautiful and dynamic sports, attracting more and more people every year. It is one of the most popular water entertainment, representing a unique combination of surfing and sailing, which is based on steering a small light board with a sail installed on it.
The advantage of windsurfing is that it can be done in almost any suitable body of water. The main thing is that there should be some wind and you should comply with the safety instructions.
The windsurfing itself can be divided into two types - in displacement mode and in gliding mode. In the former case the board is kept afloat by buoyant force, in the latter case mostly by the lift of the incoming flow. The gliding mode usually requires rather a strong wind (about 6-7 m/s).
With the help of a wind windsurfers can glide over water for a long time, covering significant distances. At the same time windsurfing gives you an opportunity to conquer big waves, and to do spectacular tricks on water, and that links it with surfing.
It's a multifaceted kind of sports! Depending on your preferences, you will be able to slide quietly on the water or make it some kind of an explosive adrenaline sport.
In addition, windsurfing perfectly promotes the development of your concentration, agility, self-confidence and, you know, it's something about overcoming yourself. The steering loads the main muscle groups, making the whole body fit!
Windsurfing is a very beautiful and spectacular sport. From the point of view of a passer-by, they form an opinion that it's too difficult to develop in such a sport, but it is not - everyone can engage in windsurfing, despite of their age and physical form. In addition, windsurfing is considered to be rather a safe sport.
So if you love the sea, have a great patience, perseverance and you are ready to train – You're welcome for windsurfing lessons. We'll help you to learn something new, develop and get to know yourself!
The Description of lessons
The program of lessons includes theoretical classes on the shore and practical ones on the water. Meeting before a session takes place on the school grounds, where you can change clothes and leave your things in storage.
In the theoretical part of the lesson we will examine the structure of a windsurfing board, principles of board and sail control, safety instructions while sailing. The initial stage of training will take place on the shore near the school and there we will practice the correct posture, sail rise, board control and turns will also be worked out.
The next stage is on the water. According to the strength and the direction of a wind we will go and have our lessons on the beaches of Taling Ngam or Lipa Noi. These ones meet the necessary safety requirements for windsurfing beginners. To be precise there are wide beaches, shallow water by the shores and sandy bottoms. Moreover, the wind usually blows towards the shore, and it excludes getting a sailor to the open sea. There we practice everything we have studied on the shore.
Transportation to and from the trainings is provided by the school transport.
In 3-4 hours of a lesson you will be able to learn to stand properly on the board, control it in a small wind and turn. If you like this beautiful sport and want more, welcome for further trainings!

For newcomers and children, the "SUP RIDER SAMUI" school offers inflatable board EZ BOARDS lessons complete with inflatable sails. They are secure and simple to steer. With their help you will learn to hold on the board confidently, to sail in a small wind and to maneuver.

I am very glad that we finally made up our mind to take a trip. It was so beautiful, I had never had such emotions before:) The places were really wild, you could see Samui from the sea and admire all this palm splendor and a picturesque sunset! In 15 minutes the instructor Alexandra taught everyone to stand on the board and during the whole trip was helping those who had not succeed. I made photos for everyone. It was just super, thank you. I highly recommend this trip for everyone. I wish I got more!
