Description of this activity

Between the lagoon and the ocean, La Somone offers one of the most beautiful sites in Senegal for learning to windsurf. The sea is calm, the wind steady, and the scenery serene. It is an ideal spot for beginners, families, or those who want to enjoy a sporting experience in direct contact with nature.

The session begins on the beach with a presentation of the equipment and a reminder of the safety rules. The instructor explains the basics: foot position, board orientation, wind management.
The exercises then take place in a shallow area near the lagoon. Here, you learn how to stand up, hoist the sail, and steer gently.
Progress is rapid: after a few attempts, you will already feel the smooth, silent gliding sensation unique to windsurfing.

The setting makes the experience even more enjoyable: the La Somone Nature Reserve, its mangroves, migratory birds, and the golden light that illuminates the calm waters.
It’s a time for sport and relaxation, perfect for discovering water sports at your own pace in a preserved environment.
