THE GEAR

Fresh boards and flexible kit rotation

Wind Fornells maintains an annually renewed fleet of sails and boards and lets riders change sails and boards during the 1.5‑hour session according to availability, so you can tailor the setup to your level and the wind.

THE CONDITIONS

A bay that trains you: steady thermals and northern tramontana

The bay offers ideal winds for progression, with summer thermal easterlies and occasional stronger north‑wind (tramontana) days—conditions that make Fornells useful for improving speed, handling, and confidence.

THE SESSION

Short, safe sessions with on‑call rescue cover

Sessions last a maximum of 1.5 hours and are run with a rescue boat on standby to ensure safety while you focus on practice or playful runs across the bay.

What the day feels like

What the 1.5‑hour session feels like

Expect a brisk, focused window on the water: check in, choose or be assigned updated equipment, and step straight into focused sailing with the option to swap sails and boards mid‑session as conditions and your appetite demand. The setup emphasizes practice and progression in a bay known for dependable winds, with support close at hand.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this session suits and who should reconsider

1
Beginner with basic skillsSuitable for beginners who meet the stated basic level requirement and want guided, short practice windows with access to beginner‑friendly, renewed equipment.
2
Intermediate sailorsWell matched for intermediates seeking steady wind days to progress technique and experiment with different sails and boards during the session.
3
Advanced / expert ridersAlso appropriate for experienced sailors—the fleet and the bay’s variable winds (including tramontana and summer thermals) provide playground conditions for pushing limits.
4
Complete novices with no prior exposureNot ideal for people who cannot meet the advertised basic level requirement; the session format is short and assumes participants can make productive use of a 1.5‑hour slot.
