- Rooi Santo 28 - When you arrive at our school, the first thing you should do is take out your flipflops and everything that is heavy and warm! We will welcome you happily and make sure you fill in the necessary papers, put away your luggage (in lockers) and get ready for the lesson! You will get watershoes and a life jacket if you need it. First, we will give you a short explanation & demonstration on the beach about the wind, the sail, the boom, the mast and your board. Then we will start with small practices. We teach and let you practice at the same time so your sessions will be short to make sure you get all the basics in! You will learn how to hold your sail, how to place your feet and hands, and how to tag. We combine theory with practice, as the wind will let you feel how to manipulate your direction through steering! The second hour of your lesson, you practice by yourself under our supervision. If you need some help, we are there, but you will love that time for yourself to practice all you learnt! When you are finished, you can tell us about your experience while you peace out on the beach! This is a private lesson for 1 or 2 persons max, so that couples can go together.

Fun in the sun - My 11 and 13 year old enjoyed learning how to windsurf. Their staff was knowledgeable and courteous, we would love to do it again.

Fun 1st Windsurfing Lessons - Rudolph was fantastic! He was so patient and kind . Rudolph made the lesson fun and not intimidating! We laughed at all my wipeouts and cracked a lot of jokes. I would recommend him as an instructor to anyone learning!

Great instructor! Was up on the board I thought pretty quickly.. - Great instructor. Was up on the board fairly quickly. Did not think to ask instructor to video us. Would have been better. Also T-shirt’s or sweatshirts would have been a great souvenir but they did not sell any

Very nice private lesson - Before arriving in Aruba I had reserved a private surfing lesson for my daughter through a very pleasant email contact with Loraine.
It was as friendly on site as the email contact.
My daughter had a nice private lesson after which she could continue practicing alone for an hour. The place is beautiful and the lesson was tailor-made and with a positive approach.

Good intro to windsurfing - Great time! I did the lesson as part of a stop in Aruba on a cruise, and found that it worked out great. The shop provided me with all of the gear I needed, as well as free transport to and from the cruise terminal in Oranjestad. I really enjoyed the lesson, and my instructor was very patient in showing me the ropes. It’s also an absolutely gorgeous spot, albeit a touch busy with other windsurfers and kiteboarders (although I never found we got in each other’s way). Would definitely recommend!
Highlights:
• The location
• Patient instructor
• Friendly staff
Things to improve:
• Pickup at the cruise terminal was a little unorganized (although I get the sense it was unusual for them, so I understand)
• More instruction on the beach. Sounds weird, because I know people typically just want to get in the water, but it can be difficult to hear the instructor once you’re on the water and start sailing away from them, and distracting when you have the board in front of you and other people are zipping around in the water, so even just a 5-10 minute primer on the basics (standing on the board, position of the feet, how to angle the sail, etc.) I think would have been helpful and facilitated faster learning.
Good to know:
• They do not provide a wetsuit (not that you’d really want one because it’s so warm), and the sun is strong, so bring a swimshirt.
• There are no changing facilities, so best to come in your bathing suit
• It can be quite bright with the sun reflecting off the water and the white sand, so if you have sunglasses with a strap, you’ll probably appreciate bringing them

Good - The experience was good. We had one hour windsurfing class and one hour practice on our own. The instructor was having difficulty teaching, he didn't seem to be in a good mood and felt rushed. Overall it was a good experience and will do it again preferably with a more patient instructor.

mixed experience - mixed experience. their water shoes are disorganized so it took me 5 minutes of hunting to find a pair that fit me.
the worst part is that my instructor started windsurfing on her own about 30 minutes into the lesson and stopped paying close attention, moving far from me on her windsurfing board. she said it was because i was doing so well. doesn’t matter - im paying for a lesson - you should watch me and tell me what i’m doing well and what i need to change. don’t take it as an excuse to go windsurf. when i made clear that i was annoyed and needed more instruction, she was defensive. this aspect more than anything left a bad taste
then she made a mistake and pulled me, the board, everything out of the water 20 minutes before my practice time was actually up. to their credit, the person at reception offered to put me back in the water and let me have more time or to give me a free hour the next day.
