Who the Camp Is For


This windsurfing camp is ideal for improver to intermediate windsurfers who want to:

  • Build confidence in stronger winds
  • Sail smaller, high-wind gear with control

  • Develop jump control
  • Try first freestyle moves


It’s a skills-focused progression camp designed to refine your technique and boost your confidence.


Hello world

Why Choose Sotavento in May?


The camp is open to a wide range of levels — everyone can progress together.

Sotavento is famous for its high wind reliability and strong thermal effect — especially in spring. Even on lighter forecast days, the afternoon thermal almost always kicks in, giving us consistent water time.


Running the camp in May rather than summer gives the perfect blend of light-wind technique sessions and stronger-wind performance sessions. This balance accelerates progression and builds real confidence.

Beach start, water start, planing in footstraps/harness, going upwind & downwind without issues, basic jibe (not necessarily consistent), and motivation to improve.
