PRO WINDSURF COACHING WITH SIMON BORNHOFT
Windwise founder Simon Bornhoft has spent decades coaching windsurfers and developing a systematic approach to helping sailors progress.
Through the Windwise Skills Training System, coaching breaks windsurfing technique into understandable and repeatable skills. Rather than simply relying on more time on the water, you’ll develop a clearer understanding of your movements, positioning, control and decision-making.

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.

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.

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 INVEST IN PRO WINDSURF COACHING?
It’s possible to spend hundreds of hours windsurfing and continue repeating the same technical habits. More time on the water is valuable, but practice becomes far more effective when you understand exactly what you’re trying to change.
Professional windsurfing coaching provides an outside perspective on your sailing, helping identify areas that can be difficult to recognise yourself. Structured feedback then gives you specific techniques and movements to focus on rather than relying on trial and error.
The objective isn’t to make you dependent on coaching. It’s to give you greater understanding of your own sailing so that you can continue progressing independently.
