From Zero to Hero in no Time at All
A rolling stone gathers no moss. The worn proverb has received a special meaning in today’s society of „life long learning“. In windsurfing, this byword combines business with pleasure in the form of so-called learnivals – well thought out activity holiday concepts where the progress of the participants ranks first.  

The Go-Getters
Learnivals do not only teach experts the most difficult jump techniques. They also accelerate beginners from zero to hero in no time. These riders are especially enthusiastic about this new, action-loaded concept. The first steps on the board are followed by the most important basic manouevers in a fast pace. Within just a few hours the participants overcome the problematic phase between the first surf lesson and the first glide ride, where many others give up before really even having started windsurfing.

At the learnivals, results can be seen in a matter of hours due to the professional mentoring with up to date teaching methods that are supported by first class gear and technology – including video training, speed measuring and classes on choosing and handling equipment. Qualified VDWS instructors or even born-and-bred pros help beginners and advanced surfers to make their goals and surfing dreams come true.

After one week of windsurfing in golden-glittering waves the diagnosis for the newcomers thus often is: “surfing fever”. Then the learned moves can perfectly be put into practice and brought further to perfection on the local waters. While already skilled riders finally dare to try the loop on learnivals, beginners quickly gain feelings of success.  

Trend Holidays on Spectacular Beaches
Many offers on solid ground add fascinating alternatives to board and sail to the vacation. Parties, sightseeing, lazy afternoons on the beach, diving into the language and culture of the host country or feasting in a local restaurant are wonderful opportunities to get rid of aching muscles and let your spirits flow after a thrilling day at the sea.

This enthralling new travel trend also creates a unique social experience thanks to the mutual experiences on the water. Windsurfing at first glance may be an individual sport, but the convivial beach life leads to lots of new friendships to carry home at the end of the trip. Thus, surfers travelling alone quickly get into contact with peers.

Active instead of passive – co-founder of the popular concept is the Surf & Action Company, which each year invites young and old to rapidly fully booked “Ride & Learns”, “Wave & Jumps”, “Lady’s Only”, “Freestyle Camps” and the liked “45 plus” for the young at heart to picturesque, unconventional holiday sites in Morocco, Egypt and Turkey who all offer perfect conditions to aspiring surfers.

Windsurfing often looks spectacular, yet isn’t hard to learn at all. Learnivals could be the key to a dream vacaction for those looking for an active, rewarding way to arrange their holiday, to have fun and relax without lazing in the hotel only or catch wind and waves alone. Pleasure, friendships, holiday feeling and surfing progress balance each other and promise unforgettable day under the flickering southern sun.
