WINDSURFING. 2

Water sports in Goa is very popular among both tourists and the locals. Windsurfing is an adventure that many wouldn't risk to take up but those who do, love to feel the wind against their face and the spay of water cooling their heels. Windsurfing is a unique blend of surfing and sailing. One has to adapt oneself to the changing patterns of the wind and water. Thus a clear balance of strength of the surfer is a prerequisite for any surfing expedition.

For one who has a perfect sense of balance and a body that can adapt to the changing patterns of wind and water, surfing is an exhilarating experience. Trainers prefer the Dona Paula bay to be the ideal destination for every beginner. The calm sea and lake like conditions help one to maneuver oneself against the gentle breeze.


The morning breeze is always gentle and preferable for beginners while the strong afternoon wind helps the experienced to enjoy surfing.
