“Windsurfing debut stay” plan is now available [Resonale Kohama Island]

2021.12.02

Kohama Island, which has no obstacles such as high mountains and buildings around it, is said to be a sacred place for windsurfing, where the wind blows from any direction and you can enjoy manipulating the wind.
From December 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022, a plan to challenge windsurfing with a manta-patterned sail at the remote island beach resort “Hoshino Resort Risonare Kohamajima” located in the southernmost Yaeyama Islands in Japan. “Windsurfing debut stay” will be released.

A sail designed by Manta Ray that you can meet in the sea of Kohama Island

There are many manta rays around Kohama Island. The manta ray design was applied to the windsurfing sail because of the high probability of encountering manta rays. Looking at the windsurfing from the beach next to the hotel, it looks as if a manta ray is swimming over the sea. It is a sail that stirs up the excitement of the lessons that are about to begin.

Reliable lesson by instructor

Choose a lesson place for the day depending on the conditions of the sea and wind, and first practice the basics on the beach. With the careful support of an experienced instructor, this is a private lesson that even beginners can experience with peace of mind. By practicing continuously every day, you will not only be able to stand on the board, but you will also be able to cut the wind and move forward. We aim to learn the technique of changing direction, read the wind, and move quickly in the desired direction.

Support set for the next day's lesson

After each lesson, you can watch the drone footage with your instructor and set goals for the next day’s lesson. You can check your form by preparing a tablet terminal in the guest room and watching the drone video repeatedly. In addition, it is a safe support set that can prepare a tired body by preparing compresses and skin care items to care for muscle pain and sunburn.
