Equipment
All windsurfing equipment, life jackets, wetsuits and water shoes are provided. We have a very large selection of windsurfing boards and rig (sail) sizes to suit students of all sizes and abilities.
What to Bring
All students must bring:
- Bathing suit and t-shirt (quick dry if possible) to wear on the water.
- Hat, sunglasses (with strap) and sunscreen.

Although TWC provides life jackets, wetsuits and booties, some students prefer to bring their own.
