- Maui is now extremely expensive, densely built-up and characterised by a property boom, long commutes and high costs for accommodation, cars and equipment.  
- Windsurfing is centred on two spots: the risky, challenging Hookipa and the more relaxed Kanaha, with its excellent facilities, which serves as a ‘playground’.  
- Despite the dangers, costs, unpredictable wind and lack of nightlife, Maui continues to attract visitors – fuelled by memories, the proximity to celebrities and those rare ‘epic days’.

- ROBINSON Club Cabo Verde on Sal offers water sports with Duotone equipment, technical camps, culinary experiences and a beachfront location in Santa Maria.  
- The new ROBINSON Club Boa Vista is set to open in March 2027 on Chaves Beach, featuring wellness facilities, sports activities and international cuisine.  
- No water sports are planned at the club on Boa Vista, but equipment hire is available on the island; competition: a one-week stay at ROBINSON Cabo Verde for two during the winter of 26/27.

Cape Verde: Endless freedom – win a week at ROBINSON CABO VERDE!

- This guide presents eight windsurfing wave spots around the world that offer relatively beginner-friendly conditions despite the surf.
- What they have in common are shallow, often sandy entry points, moderately breaking waves, plenty of space on the leeward side and, in most cases, a lack of rocks in the main area.
- The spots cover different wind directions, climate zones and levels of infrastructure, thus allowing for progressive learning from flat water to reef waves.

Wave spots: Gentle giants – the best spots for beginners

- Standing areas offer shallow, mostly shallow water, low swell and a high level of safety for beginners and intermediates in windsurfing.  
- The spots presented range from inland areas and Baltic Sea bays to Caribbean and Egyptian lagoons, some of which have a year-round wind season.  
- Many spots have surf schools, hire centres, campsites or resorts, making surf sessions convenient and logistically simple.

- A portrait of remote windsurfing spots from Madagascar to Vietnam with outstanding conditions that can only be reached with a great deal of travelling.  
- Many spots offer exceptional wave or flat water conditions, but require physical exertion, long journeys or difficult logistics.  
- Natural phenomena such as algae in Lake George or Caribbean-like lagoons on Crete and the Glénan Islands add to the appeal of these rarely surfable locations.

- The family travelled to Mauritius at the height of winter, contrary to the usual recommendations, and found very good windsurfing conditions almost every day.  
- In addition to windsurfing, they used tropical forests, national parks, animal reserves and beaches to organise windless days.  
- In Le Morne, the lagoon offered stronger winds, clean waves and a warm climate, but with challenging conditions outside the lagoon.

Travelling: Mauritius in winter? Much better than its reputation

- Jericoacoara has developed from a remote fishing village into a popular, but naturally regulated surfing and holiday resort without hotel castles.  
- Club Ventos, founded by Fabio, offers high-quality windsurfing and wingfoil equipment, new learning systems and a solar-powered eco-hotel.  
- Constant trade winds, easy accessibility by four-wheel drive only via the beach and long, good-natured waves characterise the relaxed surfing life on site.

- According to interviewees, Egypt is neither politically involved in the Iran conflict nor affected in terms of security, and tourist regions are considered calm.  
- There are no new travel warnings for Egypt, only advice for the northern Sinai, far from the tourist areas, which has remained unchanged for years.  
- Flights to Egypt are operating regularly, bookings are restrained; travel via tour operators offers security, recommended travel times vary depending on the region.
