From zero to riding the wind. Watch the videos on this page and you'll master the core skills of windsurfing.

πŸ„ First, debunk 5 common myths

Many people misunderstand windsurfing. It's simpler and safer than you think:

  1. You need to be strong? β€” Wrong. Technique matters more than strength.
  2. It's dangerous and you must be a strong swimmer? β€” Wrong. With a life vest on calm water, it's safer than many sports.
  3. It's very hard to learn? β€” Wrong. You can stand on a board in one afternoon.
  4. Can you even windsurf in Taiwan? β€” Yes. Breeze Canal has wind all four seasons.
  5. It's hard to balance on a board? β€” Not on a wide board.
