Wind and water - surfing paradises on Balaton

Why is it good to surf? It is not enough that we can become one with the elements - the wind, the water of Lake Balaton and the sun - continuous concentration can take us into a special flow experience. Real physical and mental refreshment! Let's see where we have the opportunity to experience, learn and practice all this!

It does not hurt to learn a few techniques until you feel safe. Fortunately, Hungarian surfing opportunities are full of helping hands, such as SHAKA Windsurf & sup, where you can learn about several types of the sport at your own pace. The club in Szemes creates programmes of different levels for people of different age groups who want to learn, for example daycare and residential camps are also organized for the youngest.

Their goal is to develop an appropriate surfing culture in Hungary.

Abbey and sailing clubs above all else? It does not hurt to know that the Tihany coast is also excellent for surfing! The sailing and surfing school located in the Club Tihany area has been an important player in the area for more than 35 years. Perhaps their secret lies in their flexibility: their weekly sailing and surfing courses are available both in English and in German, and their services can be used by anyone in addition to hotel guests. If the wind is not in your favour, do not be discouraged, in 2011 you could try SUP for the first time at the Sail Surf Club, which has enjoyed unbroken popularity since then.

Extreme adventures, on the mountain, on the water, in the air - the motto of Surfguru Windsurf & sup Extrém SE also represents: if you want a little adrenaline, then it is worth heading towards the south shore. Thanks to their effective surf teaching themes and specially designed tools for teaching, even the less experienced can quickly gain a sense of success. Their diverse range of equipment allows everyone, regardless of talent or age, to enjoy the waves of Balaton according to their own level, and Extrém SE also provides group training, so it can also be a great team-building programme. In Zamárdi, active recreation plays the main role, and if it is a challenge, then it should be "Extreme", says the association.

It is not necessary to be a professional surfer to enjoy the experiences of the sport. At the surf centre in Balatonföldvár, we can choose from the courses that are favourable to us, and we can also cross our borders without risk: if we are still not confident after the four-hour lesson, they provide an additional session for free. With this, the centre also wants to help build up the Hungarian surfing community, promoting the idea that floating on the waves is more of a joy than a scary operation.
