Every year everything appears in Goa more schools surfing, not only local, but Russian as well. Surfing spots in Goa are mostly beach breaks (beaches with sandy bottom), and the wave height can reach 2 meters.

If you go surfing in January, then it is better to choose one of the schools that we wrote about above.

Vietnam in January

Surfing waves come to the coast of Vietnam in the autumn-winter period, January - good month to go surfing in Vietnam. But since waves in Vietnam are formed only due to storms in the South China Sea, it is necessary to understand that waves here are not as stable as ocean waves. This means that sometimes they may not be there. The most popular surfing spots in Vietnam are Mui Ne and Vung Tau, where sandy beaches predominate, but reef spots can also be found. In general, the classic surfing industry is still just developing in Vietnam. But if you decide to combine a pleasant beach vacation in the warm sea with surf training, then this a good option... For this reason, Vietnam is more suitable for families or groups of friends, where not everyone wants to learn to surf. If the main purpose of the trip is not just a beach vacation, but learning to surf, then it is better to choose one of the countries located on the ocean (see the beginning of the article).

Winter windsurfing is a sailing sport that is able to find a large number of its fans in the cold season. The basis of vigorous activity is skating on frozen water. Ideally, skiing is carried out on clear ice or a very thin layer of snow. Only experienced athletes who understand can safely ride in deep snow.

Windsurfing history

How did people understand that winter windsurfing has its own right to exist? Everything began to develop actively in Europe immediately after the onset of the 20th century. In those years, people possessed disabilities for an exciting pastime, therefore, serious attempts were made in order to diversify leisure time.

Europeans in the 20th century did not travel around. But they were ready to enjoy ice skating, which they managed to modernize into windsurfing. Unfortunately, history has not preserved the name of the one who allowed the sail to be used even in winter. The idea of ​​sports was fully consistent with the trend of that era, because people tried to successfully conquer any challenge (snow, strong gusts of wind, cold) and effectively realize the strengths possessed by every healthy and active person.

It was in those years that people tested themselves in the following ways:

• mastering flights in the air at various;
• conducting transcontinental travel;
• making numerous discoveries and inventions.

It is not surprising that people began to learn about windsurfing on ice, which initially provided the opportunity to experience inherent potential and find ways to manifest physical abilities.

Then a special sail appeared, allowing you to enjoy skiing in the cold season. It was possible to use a natural wood frame, which had a wide bottom and a tapered top. A special fabric was stretched over the frame, made in a verified trapezoidal shape. The structure was not attached to anything, so the rolling person had to hold it by a special crossbar. It is important to note that many Europeans initially loved skiing, but then they successfully submitted to the novelty of the sport and switched to windsurfing. For easy movement, the original sail shape was replaced with a triangular design, and the athlete could easily hold and control his direction without any problems.

In the middle of the 20th century, a period of trials began in Europe: the war, the post-war period. People had to give up skis with sails. Despite this, winter windsurfing returned to the list of leisure activities in the early 1970s. In addition, windsurfing quickly became a sport of its own. The end of the XX century brought a revival of the beloved sport.

The following regions turned out to be the most demanded corners:

• Leningrad region;
• Arkhangelsk region;
• The Gulf of Finland;
• Ladoga lake;
• Lake Onega;
• Estonia;
• White Sea.

It is not surprising that windsurfing in winter won particular fame in Europe, whose residents clearly understood the benefits of such sports leisure.

Currently, annual championships are held dedicated to windsurfing and contributing to its popularity.

Preparing for self-study: choosing a board

Which winter windsurf board is suitable for independent practice?

One of the most interesting options is an iceboard that is as close to. In this case, a skating structure with a reinforced mast is provided. It is important to note that the iceboard appears even in international sporting events, and the numerous design variations deserve special attention. The iceboard is ideal even for learning:

• stability;
• easy control;
• the ability to slide easily in the wind at a speed of more than three meters per second;

An iceboard is a worthy proposition for beginners who are only planning to test their potential.

What to do if the ice is covered with a layer of snow and iceboarding becomes more difficult? In this case, only a 2-ski construction will do. It will require a suspension, long edge alpine skis. If you take care of reliable crepes and bots, you can start active skiing without any problems. In this case, ice skating gains extra features, as the requirement for the strength of the wind becomes more pronounced. Moreover, it will not be possible to develop very high speed. But fortunately, you can experience high-speed driving on snow, and not just on the ice surface.

Knowing which winter windsurf board is best for your practice, it is imperative that you understand the clear safety rules.

Features of the upcoming skiing in winter

Windsurfing involves high speeds and amazing dynamism. Of course, windsurfing in winter can be spectacular. But at the same time, you need to understand what safety rules it is desirable to take into account.

Windsurfing is a high-speed and dynamic sport

The weather conditions in winter are not always acceptable, so the safety requirements are becoming serious. It is imperative to take care of:

• helmet;
• knee pads;
• glasses.

In some cases, it is necessary to additionally protect the elbows and back. A warm ski suit is no less important, allowing you to forget about any frost.

It is advisable to conduct classes in windy weather and on an ice surface with a thin layer of snow, since only in this case it is possible to successfully control the sail and the direction of the path. It is important to note that the 2-ski construction, which has been successfully used for winter sailing, is similar to summer windsurfing: athletes can place their feet behind the hinge. On a monoski it was impossible!

Windsurfing, which occurs in winter, deserves attention. But it must be cognized, comprehended!

Surfing in Russia in January.

No matter how skeptical you are about surfing in Russia, it not only exists, but also boldly claims to destroy such a stereotype as "summer sport". In all regions of our country, the guys did not close the season, but continue to skate.

The waves are beautiful as always.

Anton goes into the water, there is snow on the beach.

The guys from Kamchatka were surfing farthest to the north in January. Anton Morozov, together with photographer Elena Safonova, filmed surfing on Khalaktyrsky beach. Here is what Lena writes in social media. networks.

"Yesterday (January 23rd, ed.) Went to the ocean for the first time this year. We could have done it earlier, but there was no road after the snowstorms. The air temperature in the morning was about minus 20 degrees, and maybe less, in neighboring Vilyuchinsk it was minus 27 . The water temperature is about freezing. "

From my own experience, I can say that the coldest thing is not to ride, but to get out of the water. In such a minus, the water on the wetsuit instantly freezes, but the surfer generally finds himself in super cold.

Warm clothes, a car, food and hot drinks save the day.

Sasha and Vitya.

Although Vladivostok is located at the latitude of Sochi, the climate here is different. There is a lot of snow and ice floats in the water. The guys here are also not afraid of the cold and ride among the mini icebergs. A team of surfers Viktor Mikhailyuk, Sasha Gizatulin and photographer Veronika Kragoda set off on January 30 to Russky Island.

This is what Sasha Gizatulin writes about skating that day.

“Once, in a cold winter season, we went ashore ... in general, the frost was not so strong) -5. Water +1. When entering the water near the canal, small ice floes floated, but they did not become a particular hindrance. 1.5 meter waves and the complete absence of anyone on the line-up). Me and my friend Viktor recently returned from Bali, where it's not a secret for anyone the competition on the lanape is quite severe)). Here, on our native coast, we are like children rejoiced that absolutely all the waves are ours. "

"After an hour of surfing, I began to inflate the offshore and from nearby bays along the coast, it began to build up ice at a very fast speed. Within a few tens of minutes, ice sludge and pieces of ice covered the left side of the bay and the channel turned into a river with icebergs))). a couple more good waves, it's time to go ashore, so as not to harm your health.
These are the wonderful waves that the Sea of ​​Japan gives us. All peace, good waves and take care of yourself. "

Falling in such cold waves is a separate experience. This year, after one strong fall, I got so much water in my nose that I was sick for another three weeks.

AirBerlin via Berlin) and LuftHansa via Frankfurt will ask for boards from 50 € to 150 € one way, FinAir via Helsinki will ask 100 €, British via sunny London - hurray, free of charge.
