Windsurfing was the inspiration for the genesis of Calema. Tinho’s love of windsurfing after trying multiple sports (over 17, in fact) gave him the desire to become a certified instructor and begin his own windsurfing school and pro shop. So, in 1984 – Calema was born. The story is actually quite a bit longer, but you can visit our Calema History page for the full story!
NEW – WINDFOILING (FOILING ON A WINDSURFER)
Ready to lift off and try foiling? Or, have you tried it without success? Tinho will help fine tune your body stance, foot position, power and getting into the footstraps so you can allow the board to lift up on the foil and experience the quiet, smooth sensation of WindFoiling. Previous Windsurfing Experience is required. Headset coaching is included for all water portions of the WindFoiling Instruction.
*All instruction includes the use of equipment. For practice after a lesson, you will want to rent for additional time.
Blend of Surfing & Sailing
Windsurfing is an incredible blend of sailing, with the upright stance of surfing. Like sailing, it is only the wind that propels the craft and is therefore a quiet peaceful experience – with only the sound of the wind and water as it glides across the surface.
Windsurfing For All Ages
The sport has come a long way since Calema’s start in 1984, but it still encapsulates all the thrill of speed, the tranquility of being close to the elements and the satisfaction of overcoming ever-changing conditions of nature. It can be enjoyed on flat inland water in a calm breeze, or jumping high over the tops of waves. A child of eight can learn, but also the 80+ enthusiast can continue to windsurf as it is truly a lifetime sport without a set age limit.
