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
The spot of ION CLUB Alacati is situated in a huge protected bay, with a 500 meters long and 400 meters wide shallow area of shimmering turquoise water. In the south, the bay gives way to the open sea. The constant wind which blows sideshore from the left in summer, and the completely flat water create perfect conditions for windsurfers, as well as an excellent learning and practicing environment.
The ION CLUB Alacati is located in the south of Cesme Peninsula in the bay of Alacati, only 50 meters from the water. The building is protected from the wind and offers ample space. Hot showers, changing facilities and toilets are on site. Accessories such as lycras, t-shirts and harnesses can be purchased in the boutique belonging to the center.
BEST PERIODS
May, June, July, August, September.
WIND
From mid May until the end of September the well known “Meltem” blows from a northerly direction. Normally the wind is moderate in the morning and increases during the day. In spring and autum, the dominating wind comes from the south. The “Poiras” blows sideshore from the right.
WAVES
Flat water, ideal conditions for beginners, especially kids. In spring and autumn, nice small waves break in the bay.
