Windsurfing is one of the most
popular water sports in the world and Bulgaria doesn't make an exception.
There are a number of windsurfing clubs along the Black Sea shore that
provide training and quality equipment for rent.
Windsurfing conditions in Bulgaria
The Black Sea, without any doubt, is a great place for the fans of
windsurfing visiting Bulgaria. Several windsurfing competitions take
place every year. Water is warm in summer and bright sunny days are
abundant. Wind speed varies and in general is higher by the late
afternoon. Some days there are plenty of wind and as result
relatively high waves close to the shore. You will need a water
start in order to cross the zone with waves and sail to open see.
This kind of weather is not very good for beginners but intermediate
and experienced surfers will enjoy the higher speed. You don't need
special wetsuits most of the time but a short sleeve wetsuit will
help you to keep your body warm when surfing early in morning or
late afternoon and it will protect you from sunburns. Every major
resort has several windsurfing clubs that provide equipment and
renting a surf is not a problem. You can also hire a teacher and
learn the basics pretty quickly. Most of the clubs have equipment
for beginners - large boards, small sails. They have usually a
decent choice for sails and boards. Sunny Beach, Albena and Golden
Sands are prime spots if you like to have the comfort of a 3 and
4-star hotels with air conditioning and many good restaurants and
night clubs around. If you prefer the solitude and the wild, then you can go south
along the Black Sea shore to Arapia camping or
to small towns like Kiten, Sinemorec, Cerovo. In this case you will need your own
surfing equipment.
