Student Testimonials
Small Group Environment & Low Student-to-Instructor Ratio
Campers will be divided into small groups according to ability level to maximize access to instructors and stress individual technique development and personal improvement. New sailors will learn the basics through lectures and on-water instruction to ensure the best educational foundation. Experienced sailors will learn advanced techniques tailored to their specific interests and needs, while continuing to perfect their on-water skills. For a full camp of 40 people, there will be a minimum of eight instructors on site.
Friendly Atmosphere
ABK prides itself on providing the best windsurfing instruction in a friendly, non-intimidating atmosphere. The camps are designed to incorporate education, fitness, relaxation and fun. No matter what your age or previous windsurfing experience, an ABK windsurfing adventure will give you fun-filled days in an encouraging learning environment and the tools for many hours of sailing enjoyment. Each location is suited for all ability levels, unless otherwise noted.
