Since the dawn of time, men tried by all means to defeat waters and seas. It was a simple maneuver i.e. a board which slides easily along the waves.

Windsurfing reminds us of Hawaii because its islands witnessed the birth of this sport which is an adrenaline adventure par excellence for all those who want to overcome waves face-to-face.

It is true that Mediterranean waves don't make high tunnels of water needed for this kind of sports, but there is nothing preventing adventurers from practicing it throughout the year especially in Batroun and Tripoli where wind's speed is always higher.

The adventurer stands on a board in the middle of which a moving column fixing the sail that depends on the wind to beat waves and move forward in the right way. Boards used by beginners are different from those used by professionals. You need six training sessions to learn windsurf for 100dollars and 75dollars is the material leasing cost at the training school.

Windsurf is an adventure needing physical effort and presence of mind because you can not at any time loose concentration or coordination between the mind's orders and the arms and legs movements. You will be suntanned revealing the deep relation between you and the sea.
