Overview:

We are a small and professional watersports centre, located on the Mar Menor near La Manga Club in Murcia (Costa Calida).

With its warm shallow waters, the Mar Menor is the ideal sport to learn to windsurf. Julian is a very patient and knowledgeable instructor, he will help you to get your balance and before you know it you will be off on your own! Our equipment is especially suitable for beginners. The sails are lightweight and the boards very stable which makes it quicker & easier to get going.

We offer three course levels; Learn to Windsurf and Levels 1 & 2 for adults and Youth Stages 1-3. All courses are practically based and any theory required is usually carried out on the water. No RYA certificates can be issued, but all training follows the RYA syllabus.

Our maximum student instructor ratio is 4 to 1, though more commonly it is 2 to 1. Most other windsurfing schools will teach using a student instructor ratio of 6 to 1. Many of our clients are amazed by the progress they make in just one lesson but with the ideal conditions of the Mar Menor and low student instructor ratios you really can make progress quickly.

If some members of your group don't want to windsurf they can join you on the water in a kayak or just laze on the beach. We provide buoyancy aids for all activities, we also have wet suits and spray tops which may be used during the early and late season. The use of all of these is included in the price of the tuition or rental.

Why Choose Aqua Adicta

Although professional instruction to RYA standards is promised at many holiday destinations our experience and that of many of our clients is that it often falls short of expectations. Instructors are often young students who are hired for a season and are more interested in enjoying themselves than teaching; groups are large and individual assistance can rarely be given unless additional tuition is paid for.

All instruction at Aqua Adicta is given by Julian or Lesley who will do their utmost to ensure you have a good time and learn a great deal. For 6 weeks during high season we hire carefully selected experienced instructors to work with us.

About the area:

The Mar Menor is the perfect location for all types of watersports, whether it be dinghy sailing, windsurfing or kayaking. Dinghy sailors can enjoy a huge sailing area which is surprisingly under-utilised. Windsurfers can learn in shallow waters until they gain their confidence and kayakers can explore areas which are inaccessible to other craft.

Our watersports centre is located on the beach so for those not wishing to take part there is plenty of opportunity to relax and watch the activities. There is a large choice of accommodation within easy reach, some within walking distance.

There is a straight road from the junction of the RM12 into Mar de Cristal lined with palm trees.
As you enter Mar de Cristal, go straight ahead at the first roundabout and right at the second roundabout. Follow the dual carriageway to the end, you will then be forced to take a 90 degree bend to the left. Follow the road around the corner and then take the second turn on the right (opposite the Upper Autoservico).
