I teach Windsurfing for all levels and I love it!
My ongoing love for water sports began when I was a child in the early 1980's. I have enjoyed passing it on to others since then...
My instruction is based on precise and flowing moves that will make your surfing easy and fun, right from the first steps.
Welcome to my site and I hope to see you on the beach, ready to get in the water.

The best way to improve and progress.
Training, in and out of the water, is closely guided under the professional instruction of Alon Kaplan.
We focus on improving technique and we have fun doing it...
The Autumn season - the months of October - November - December provides great windsurfing conditions on the Israeli Mediterranean shores. It's a great time to start windsurfing and to work on improving your skills.
Conditions can vary from side-shore to off-shore winds with flat to choppy waters, and even some winter storms with good wave-riding conditions in some spots.
Weather is usually pleasant - warm water and clear blue skies.
Great conditions for all windsurfing levels!
