WHAT WILL YOU WORK ON DURING AN ADVANCED GYBE CLINIC IN TENERIFE?

CARRYING SPEED INTO THE GYBE

Develop a more committed entry and learn how your approach, stance and board control can help maintain speed as you initiate the turn.

BOARD & RAIL CONTROL

Refine your body position and pressure through the board to produce a controlled, consistent carve rather than losing speed or direction through the turn.

FASTER, MORE CONTROLLED EXITS

Bring the different elements together with the aim of exiting your gybes with greater speed, stability and control.

RIG TRANSITION

Work on the timing and control of your rig transition to make the movement smoother and reduce disruption through the critical stages of the gybe.

WHY TENERIFE FOR ADVANCED GYBE COACHING?

Choosing an advanced gybe clinic in Tenerife gives you the opportunity to combine dedicated coaching with concentrated time on the water away from your normal sailing environment. Rather than practising the same mistakes repeatedly, structured Windwise coaching gives you specific technical areas to understand and work on throughout your sessions.

Tenerife is already part of the wider Windwise international programme, making it a natural destination for windsurfers who want to combine progression with an overseas experience. You can explore the wider range of Windwise windsurfing holidays or see upcoming windsurfing holidays for 2027

WHO IS THIS ADVANCED GYBE CLINIC FOR?

An advanced gybe clinic in Tenerife is aimed at experienced windsurfers who want to refine their gybing technique rather than simply learn the fundamentals of windsurfing.

You might already complete gybes but struggle to carry speed through them, find your success rate inconsistent or feel that your rig transition and exit are preventing you from progressing. Focused gybe coaching gives you the opportunity to break the manoeuvre down and identify the areas that need attention.

 

If you’re still developing towards this level, Windwise also provides broader windsurfing coaching holidays covering different abilities and progression goals.

THE WINDWISE APPROACH TO ADVANCED GYBE COACHING

Windwise coaching focuses on helping windsurfers understand how and why techniques work. Simon Bornhoft’s Windwise Skills Training System breaks complex movements into understandable skills that can be practised and developed on the water.

During advanced gybe coaching, the focus can move beyond simply getting around the turn towards improving the quality of the entire manoeuvre — from your approach and entry through to the carve, rig transition and exit.

 

Discover more coaching opportunities through Windwise and find the experience that best matches your current level and ambitions.

FROM ADVANCED GYBES TO BETTER OVERALL SAILING

Improving your gybe can influence much more than one manoeuvre. The stance, vision, board control and rig control involved are fundamental elements of effective windsurfing, making focused gybe training useful for broader progression.

 

Windwise’s advanced windsurfing coaching provides a wider route for experienced windsurfers wanting to develop multiple aspects of their sailing alongside advanced manoeuvres.

Nestled on the coast of Turkey, Alacati lives up to its reputation of being the Bonaire of the mediterranean. Like the Caribbean Island, this premier location offers reliable winds and perfect flat-water spots ideal for all skill levels.

With our Windwise Skills Training System, professional photo and video analysis, and dedicated 1-2-1 coaching, you are guaranteed to progress in a place like this.

BONAIRE

We host our windsurf clinics in Bonaire because it’s simply stunning. The colours, knee-to-waist deep lagoon and super flat water creates the perfect place to get around those gybes. You’ll be surprised with how quickly you’ll waterstart and blast confidently when you’ve come to the right place. Our Warrior ethos pushes your turning, giving dry fast tacks and progressing in all levels of gybing.

Beyond the water, Bonaire’s has a welcoming social scene, fabulous restaurants, and  breathtaking sundowners. It’s the most beautiful and productive Windwise coaching location, offering the perfect environment for improving your skills and making lifetime memories. 

FEELVIANA

FeelViana is a multi-sport paradise on the stunning west coast of Portugal. The huge bay offers flat water and optional waves, perfect for our Windwise coaching experiences and pushing your confidence to the next level. 

Here you can enjoy Freeride blasting, wave sailing, and other activities like SUP, foiling, winging, eBiking, and surfing. FeelViana is much more than a windsurfing spot, it’s a luxurious eco spa hotel, with its gym, spa, sauna, and sunset pool. Plus great local cultural experiences and it’s ideal for taking a non-windsurfing partner. 

MAURITIUS

Our most tropical location, Mauritius, is the ultimate windsurf holiday. We run our clinics in Le Morne, Mauritius, which boasts a perfect lagoon and optional small, medium, and large Indian Ocean waves.

Coming here as an intermediate or advanced windsurfer means you get to make the most of what Mauritius is so famous for offering. With targeting coaching and the Windwise method, you’ll develop, expand and challenge your skill set. 

PRASONISI

Prasonisi, Greece, is someone you have to see to believe. It is our top pick for windsurf clinics because it provides a fantastic Freeride windsurfing haven. With vast sandy flat water on one side and the choice of waves on the other, you can take your flat water skills into the waves in a matter of minutes. 

With complete coaching, high-quality analysis, and gauranteed progression, Prasonisi is ideal for improves, intermediates and advanve. The extremely flat water and slightly cross-offshore Meltemi winds ensure easy blasting and gybing.

TENERIFE

The Canary Isands is the perfect escape from bitter winter cold. For us windsurfers, there is one destination in mind:Tenerife’s El Medano. The large freeride bay is ideal for warming up and training over the winter. This intermediate to advance spot builds confidence and essential skills. 

With plenty of friendly waves, learning to wave ride is what El Medano is made for. After all that on-water fun, nothing hits the spot quite like tapas and a cerveza. Book your windsurf trip with us.
