Northwind is a water sports school that offers both kitesurfing and paddle surfing courses. It is located on the coast of Somo, practically in front of the city of Santander, and is one of the best places in the region to learn to practice this type of sports.
Kitesurfing was created in the 70s by a Dutchman who had the idea of incorporating a kite very similar to a paraglider to a surfboard. In this way, the surfer could move propelled by the air collected by the kite, thus eliminating the need to constantly catch waves. Nowadays this sport has become enormously popular, and it is a highly in-demand aquatic activity.
With us you can take courses at three levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced. They also offer the possibility of taking a baptism course. This course has a much shorter duration and is basically used to have an overview of the activity and see if you like it and want to be encouraged to take a course with more content.
For its part, paddle surfing has its origins in the traditional way of sailing among Polynesians, standing on a board and propelling themselves with a long paddle. The current sport is very close to traditional surfing, especially because the boards used are quite similar (although not the same). It is a fairly calm and relaxed activity, perfect for exploring and getting to know the coast.
We offer all types of courses, from baptism to advanced improvement. There is also the possibility of doing paddle surf routes and crossings for those people who already have a reasonable command of the board and the paddle.
In addition to taking courses, you can also rent the material to do the activity on your own.
