Activity description
Have you ever experienced windsurfing and the sensation of sliding on the water with the wind in your face?
Then these lessons are the best way for you to accomplish your goals! Colico on Lake Como is the perfect spot to learn windsurfing in total safety: regular daily onshore wind, flat and clean waters and great instructors...what else do you need?
Windsurfing is a technical sport and precisely for this reason KTS40 focuses on creating courses following the VDWS method that make learning and practicing easy and fast.
Every lesson is adapted to the group's level and is made up of small steps, enabling you to progress at your own pace. Each step is composed of a theory lesson and a practical lesson. Courses for children focus on how to combine having fun and learning in an effective way.
