BEST WINDSURFING CLINIC FOR INTERMEDIATES
Looking for the best windsurfing clinic for intermediates? Windwise coaching experiences are designed to help progressing windsurfers turn inconsistent skills into confident, repeatable technique while enjoying more time on the water.
Intermediate windsurfers often reach a stage where simply sailing more isn’t enough. You may be planing confidently but still struggle with consistent gybes, waterstarts, stance, board control or sailing efficiently in different conditions. Structured coaching can help identify exactly what’s holding you back and give you specific techniques to work on.
Windwise combines Simon Bornhoft’s Skills Training System with carefully selected coaching environments to help you make genuine progress. Explore our wider windsurfing clinics for 2027 or visit Windwise to discover the complete coaching programme.
WHAT MAKES THE BEST WINDSURFING CLINIC FOR INTERMEDIATES?
STRUCTURED COACHING
Intermediate windsurfers often know what they want to achieve but aren’t sure exactly what is preventing them from progressing. Structured coaching helps identify technical weaknesses and gives every session a clear purpose.
SUITABLE CONDITIONS
The right conditions are important for progression. A good intermediate clinic should give you opportunities to practise the techniques appropriate to your level rather than simply putting you into the strongest or most challenging conditions possible.
TIME ON THE WATER
Progress comes from combining understanding with practice. Concentrated sailing gives you the opportunity to apply coaching points repeatedly and turn new movements into more consistent skills
INDIVIDUAL PROGRESSION
Not every intermediate windsurfer struggles with the same thing. Effective coaching should help you identify the areas of your own sailing that will make the greatest difference.

ARE YOU AN INTERMEDIATE WINDSURFER?
The term “intermediate” can describe a wide range of windsurfing abilities. You might be comfortable using the harness and footstraps and sailing at speed but still find transitions inconsistent. Perhaps you’re developing your carve gybes, improving your waterstarts or trying to become more confident when conditions become challenging.
You don’t need to be an advanced windsurfer to benefit from structured coaching. In fact, the intermediate stage is often where focused tuition can make a particularly noticeable difference because small changes to stance, vision, rig control and board control can transform your overall sailing. Windwise offers the best windsurfing clinics for imtermediates.
If you’re already a highly experienced sailor looking for more technical progression, our advanced windsurfing coaching may be a better fit.

Here you can enjoy Freeride blasting, wave sailing, and other activities like SUP, foiling, winging, eBiking, and surfing.

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 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.
WHY CHOOSE WINDWISE FOR INTERMEDIATE WINDSURFING COACHING?
Windwise coaching is built around progression rather than simply accumulating hours on the water. Simon Bornhoft’s Windwise Skills Training System breaks windsurfing down into understandable skills and movements, helping sailors recognise what they need to change and how to practise it.
For intermediate windsurfers, this structured approach can be particularly valuable. Instead of repeatedly making the same mistakes, coaching provides a clearer path towards more consistent technique, greater control and increased confidence.
If you want a broader coaching experience rather than a clinic focused specifically on intermediate progression, explore our Pro Windsurf Coaching options.
