COURSE ORGANISATION AND SAFETY
We understand that besides professional tuition, the most important thing when it comes to improving your windsurfing skills is time to practise. Our instructors will create a safe learning environment, enabling you to train and to receive professional feedback on your actions.
Depending on the type of lesson and content we either teach you in small groups or individually.
In order to provide you with instant feedback especially during our advanced lesson program, our instructors use Radio Headsets enabling them to communicate with you while riding.
Flexibility
We understand that choosing a Windsurfing lesson package from home might be difficult. Don´t worry! No matter which package you choose, if during the lesson the instructor realizes that another package would be more suitable for you, you can always change that on site. You will never have to join a lesson, which actually doesn´t suit your expectations or level.
After every session your instructor will give you detailed feedback and recommendation on how to continue – no matter which course you initially booked. Your success and progress is all that matters to us!
A word about
ION CLUB Alacati
ION CLUB Alaçati is a windsurfing and wingfoil center located in the south of the Cesme peninsula, in the west of Turkey, in the bay of Alaçati. The center is only 50 meters from the water, or rather from the Aegean Sea. Our structure is protected from the wind and offers a lot of space, so we can welcome riders and their families in the best of conditions. Hot showers, changing rooms and toilets are also available on site. Our center has a surf shop selling lycras, t-shirts and harnesses for windsurfing and wingfoil. For taking a break between sessions, right next to the ION CLUB ALACATI there is a beach restaurant with sandwiches and drinks available all day long.
BEST PERIODS
May, June, July, August, September.
WIND
From mid-May to the end of September, the famous Meltemi wind system sets in, which is a north wind that blows in the Aegean Sea all summer long. Normally the wind is lighter in the morning and increases during the day. In spring and autumn the dominant wind comes from the south, it is the Poiras, which is oriented onshore, from the sea to the land.
WAVES
Flat water from May to September, giving ideal conditions for beginners, freestylers and speed enthusiasts. In spring and autumn, sometimes nice little waves break in the bay.
HOW TO GET TO ALACATI?
Coming from Izmir Airport
Leave Izmir airport and follow the sign for IZMIR at the first fork in the road. Continue in this direction for about 12 km. After about 12 km, follow the sign "ÇEŞME" / "ÇEVREYOLU". Stay on the highway access road and continue to follow "ÇEŞME". After entering the highway (with a toll), follow the signs for "ALAÇATI". The toll will cost you about the equivalent of 1 euro, and since you are in a rental car, ask for an OGS or HGS highway ticket. After the toll, take the 3rd exit at the roundabout and 100 meters further, the 3rd exit of this 2nd roundabout. Drive straight on for 1 km, the road will then turn to the right. Continue on this road, you will see the freeway running parallel on your left. At the end of the road, turn left and take the first exit off of the roundabout. Finally, after 3.5 km, turn left and follow the signs "Alaçati Beach Resort".
