Albanian Water Sports
The true pleasure of the sea...
 

We teach to individuals and groups windsurfing and sailing with our boats. Teaching is available for any age, from kids 4 years up to their grandfathers and grandmothers...All entry level students wear a life vest and water shoes.

Both Golem and Velipoje beach are perfect places to learn and progress windsurfing and sailing. The relatively protected bays, sandy coast, shallow and warm waters and more important, steady light winds in the mornings and evenings with stronger winds during the afternoons, are ideal conditions to learn windsurfing and sailing with our equipments.

Big boards and small sails will have you sailing out and back on your first lesson. Learn the basics of sail trim, board steering, and turning around in your first lesson. Your lesson starts with a brief orientation on the beach, in the water your instructor will teach you to steer and turn around and sail in before you sail out. Stable boards, easy to handle sail, and good instruction equal immediate success.

  

 

With the sailboats start with the small boats, Optimists are the perfect ones and progress gradually with larger boats...

 

Long Board Sailing is a great way to learn new maneuvers, such as beach starts, harnessing, tacking, and jibing. Learning these skills on a big board will help you master them on your short board. Long board sailing lessons are held every morning and afternoon. Practice your jibe on these stable boards, and learning to jibe a short board will be significantly easier.

Mastering water starts is the ticket to riding a short board. Once you achieve this challenging maneuver, you'll wonder why it was so hard to learn. Working with an instructor is highly recommended, as you will receive help rigging and tuning your gear, if it is needed. Then your lesson will start on the beach, where you will practice segments of the waterstart.

There is a substantial leap in your learning curve when you complete more jibes than you miss. Falling at the end of a run means wrestling the sail out of the water, burning calories, and losing time; important commodities that you could have been spent getting upwind or setting up for your next jibe or wave ride. Completing your jibe almost doubles your sailing and learning time.
