Aruba Windsurf Centre, Aruba
Our partner windsurf centre in Aruba is located at the north end of the Marriott Hotel property and fronts the Fisherman's Huts sailing area. The Boardwalk Hotel is about 150 yards fromthe new windsurf centre.
Directly in front of the Aruba windsurf centre you are into beautiful, warm, crystal-blue and clear water with several hundred yards of sandy bottom. Make a path through our flags marking the reefs, and you get closer towards the more exciting conditions outside on "The Blue Highway" with rolling swell and a bump & jump playground. Strong off-shore winds are often already getting started by the time we open our doors, and building throughout the day. Winds are a bit lighter inside allowing beginners to catch a break even on the windiest of days.

Kitesurfing in Aruba
With constant trade winds, flat and shallow turquoise waters, Aruba has become a world renowned kite destination for beginners and pros alike. Are you ready to take on this exhilarating challenge?
Focused on delivering the best kitesurfing experience for their guests, they make safety, quality of lessons and equipment a top priority, making them Aruba’s premier kite school. Their internationally qualified instructors will teach on only top of the range, industry-leading equipment, giving students the best chance to master the sport.
Lessons are designed to fully prepare you to become an independent kiteboarder. Your instructor will take you through each stage of learning at your own pace. The teaching system is divided into three primary sections:
- Kite Control: For learners with no previous kite experience, we start them on the land with a trainer kite. Here they will learn about wind principles, kite control, safety and set up.
- Body dragging: It’s time to get wet. Using the kite principles you learnt in your first lesson, you will now use the kite to drag your body through the water in different directions. You’ll learn other core skills such as launching and landing, board recovery, and water safety.
- Waterstart: It’s kiteboard time. After you understand the principles and are in good control of the kite it’s time to get on the board! This may be trickier than you originally imagined, but it’s all fun and once you’ve got it, there is no better feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Wing Foiling in Aruba
Feel the freedom of flying over the water with a wing in the hands and on top of a foil board and see all that is happening in the beautiful crystal clear Caribbean sea from above. Fish and turtles are plentiful and perhaps you will be lucky enough to encounter the occasional dolphin having a race with you. Don’t forget to bring your GoPro.
Lessons are focused on safety and enjoyment first. The classes are conducted with the instructor following close with a boat for your instructions and safety.. Want to bring a friend or family member? Just ask your instructor.
A lesson is 1 hour long and will all be on the water. During the lesson you will learn how to handle the wing, get on the board, start building up speed and get riding high on your foil to be able just glide ever so gently and silently through the water. It is absolutely an exhilarating experience you will never forget and will perhaps bring you back to Aruba for more.
Stand Up Paddle boarding in Aruba
For beginners we advise staying in the designated swimming areas, where the shallow waters allow for easy practice. You may fall a few times, but it’s part of the fun.
For the more adventurous, a sea safari is always a fun choice. Take the boards to the reef, and try spotting some flying fish or even turtles. - But remember to leave yourself enough energy to get back!
Got a need for speed? Then our race board is the choice for you. Get maximum exercise as you speed across the water.
Paddleboarding is an excellent group activity, but also serves as a great way to get out on the ocean alone for some much deserved me-time!
