Windsurfing


Windsurfing is a sport that combines elements of both sailing and surfing to create a graceful yet unpredictable activity.

Learning to work alongside the changing tides, manipulating your maneuvers, shifting your style: it’s a sport of adaptation.

Windsurfing is extremely rewarding both physically and mentally and although reliant upon the natural elements windsurfing is a mobile and active sport that will leave you rewardingly exhausted and refreshed.

It is a full body workout and is an extremely enjoyable means of exercise, feel the burn of your calories as you squat and sway in rhythm with the water.

Windsurf Equipment Rental

If you are an experienced Windsurfer, you may visit the KAUST South Beach anytime during the beach working hours, rent our Windsurf kit and jump on the board to see where the wind takes you.
