BOOKING

The capacity of the centre is limited to 35 pre-booked windsurfers. With this number we can offer every one a good service. If you have not made a reservation by pre-booking we cannot quarantee that there will be a possibility for you to use the equipment during your stay.

The concept of TWS is that you can use all the boards and sails we have. Because of the differences in wind strength it is not possible to allocate a specific board and sail. We work on a “who comes first, chooses first” basis and equipment is often changed during a day.

In the center we have more then 95 boards and 100 sails to cover all conditions and ability levels. The equipment we have in the centre you can find on the website. Often we have more or newer gear then what the website displays because we work closely with the board- and sailmanufacturors.

If a board or sail is beyond repair or the repair cant be made in a way that it’s not visible we charge you 60% of the suggested retailprice of the damaged product and the board, sail or boom will be yours then. We issue you an invoice for the repair or replacement of the product so you can claim it on your inssurance when you are back home.
