Learning to windsurf or perfecting your technique in Tenerife is a dream for many. El Médano is the wind capital of the Canaries, but let’s be honest: not all spots work for every level. Trying to learn a water start in choppy waves, or taking your very first steps in strong currents, can turn a fun day into a frustrating struggle.
At Godzilla Windsurf School, we don’t just teach you how to sail; we design the perfect experience for you. Our secret? We always choose the right spot for the conditions and your ability.
Here is why we are different and why, depending on your level, we take you to places no other school can.
1. Beginners: The Exclusivity of Playa Chica
The biggest obstacle for anyone starting windsurfing is balance. If you add waves to the weight of the sail, learning slows down significantly.
Godzilla is the only school that teaches at Playa Chica (El Médano).
-
Why here? It is the absolute best place for beginners. Because it is sheltered, there are no waves.
-
The Benefit: Calm water means you spend more time standing on the board and less time falling off. You will learn the basics, tacking, and sailing your first meters much faster and with total safety.
2. Intermediates: The "Flat Water Lab" in Granadilla
You can already sail, but you want to take a leap in quality: the dreaded Water Start and the elegant Jibe (Gybe). Trying to learn these moves in the open sea with the usual "chop" of El Médano is exhausting.
We are the only ones offering intermediate lessons at the Port of Granadilla.
-
Why here? It is a massive spot with completely flat water.
-
The Benefit: By eliminating the waves, you can focus 100% on sail technique and foot positioning. In Granadilla, the success rate for learning the water start skyrockets. It is our perfect "gym" for technical training.
3. Advanced: Pure Adrenaline at Playa del Cabezo
When you have mastered the board and are looking for strong emotions, we take you to the big leagues. Playa del Cabezo is a world-class spot and a regular venue for PWA championships.
-
What do we do here? Pure wave lessons.
-
The Goal: From your first steps managing the shore break to radical maneuvers. If your dream is to learn how to rotate and land your first Forward Loop, our instructors will be right there with you (or flying next to you) to correct every detail in the air.
4. Safety and Professionalism First
Having access to the best spots would mean nothing without the right team.
-
Certified Instructors: Our entire team is fully qualified and has years of experience. They are not just riders; they are teachers who know how to communicate.
-
Lessons for All Levels: It doesn't matter if you are 7 or 60 years old, or if you have never seen a sail before. We adapt our teaching method to you.
Conclusion Don’t settle for just any lesson. At Godzilla Windsurf School, we guarantee the best environment for your current level, ensuring your progression is fast, safe, and, above all, incredibly fun.
