Amazing experience! Patient and encouraging instructors who will make you fall in love with surfing and stand up paddling. Conditions in the bay are great and you always get extra tips and tricks from Goran, depending on the situation with the wind that day. I highly recommended it- fun activity no matter the age and/or previous experience with water sports. :)

We were staying in Sibnek old town and looked for a Windsurf School, Wind Rose is only a short easy drive away, and independent to the Hotel sharing the beech (out hotelier thought it was part of it)
We booked our son in for a 2 hour Windsurf Lesson, before he could go out on the water he first completed a 1 hour instruction session Free of Charge.
Having Windsurfed on holiday in the UK and failed miserably, to the point of putting me off trying again, the level of instruction given by Goran and Martina made me realise why!!! They are great, extremely professional and natural.
After one hour instruction we watched our son vanish off into the distance with a guide, competently navigating the bay.
If we had longer in the area I would have signed up but sadly we had to move onto the next part of our trip.
As you can guess we would highly recommend them, it may be easiest to WhatsApp the number as they are often busy during the day.

Great two days of windsurf instruction from Goran, myself and my 12 year old loved every minute, shame we had to go home early due to quarantine. I’d highly recommend these guys for beginners and intermediate windsurfers, the guys are patient fun and friendly. See you again soon

We had an amazing time at the Wind Rose water sports center. We started the 3 hours course with the hole family and Matías (14 years) even continued the 7 hours base course. He really enjoyed and loved it! He even saw turtles on several occasions.
The equipment was brandnew and the whole team, Martina, Heinrich and of course Goran, explained everything very good and gave very clear instructions. They were very flexible regaring the hours we wanted to surf and advised when the wind would be to strong.
We would defintely recommend to try windsurfing at this school!
A big thank you to the whole team!

Goran and his team are highly professional and genuinely nice people. My 2 boys, aged 12 and 8, have spent 2 weeks learning to windsurf with Goran and Martina this summer and have had a fantastic time. We also did several activities as a family with them including stand-up paddling on a huge board that accommodated our family of 4 and paddle board yoga out in the bay which was a truly unique experience. I highly rate Wind Rose. If you are in Šibenik, you must pass by for guaranteed fun in the water. We can't wait to go back next year!

My kids have been coming here regularly for the past 2 years. Last year my kids (14 and 11) have been through the basic windsurfing training. This year, as a self-taught windsurfer, my husband decided to brush up on his skills with advanced training, along with our kids. And it was great. Both Goran and Martina are great teachers and now they're tacking and jibeing like there’s no tomorrow.
Location is great, especially for beginners. There is always at least steady sea breeze and there is little chance for beginners to end up in the open sea. For those that somehow do end up unable to come back, there is a speed boat ready to tow them back. The equipment is new, instructors are great, location is non-risky, for anybody interested in learning how to windsurf. In case you are tired of windsurfing or want to try something else, there is also equipment for SUP, which kids also enjoyed greatly. I would recommend 10/10.

Me ,my wife and my 3 daughters profit of a free lesson to learn basic information for windsurfing.
Today the team propose us a package for all my family. My 2 young daughters and my wife profit of 2 hours of paddles (SUP). Me and my oldest daughter Vicky (14 years old) learn to fly on water with Martina. Wonderful experience.
Friendly, profesional, funny, all conditions are perfect, as the weather and the sea.
You can go with closed eyes !

Located in a shallow bay with warm water this is a real good place for learning windsurfing or standup-paddling. The equipment is modern and in good condition.
I was short of time when I decided to refresh my windsurfing skills, so I took a private lesson by Goran. He was very kind and gave me a lot of advice which I tried to implement.
I wish Goran and his team all the best for the future and will certainly return for some other lessons when I‘m in Croatia.

My experience with the Wind Rose Water Sports Center is totally positive. Goran and his team are amazing & absolutely experienced. They run a fantastic, well located, water sports center with free parking. The water here is amazingly beautiful and safe. Also the equipment is brand new & super nice.

My wife and I had a great time at the surf lesson. We are beginners and the three-hour course allowed us to ride the surfboard independently and turn around without falling into the water. The instructors are friendly, fun and know their job. I highly recommend a visit!
