Review of Algarve Watersport Kite- Surf- Windsurf School and Camp

I was quite excited to try out this school given all the nice reviews, but unfortunately I did not have a good experience. I had a Windsurfing group "class". I had to quote class because in total I think I had about 5 minutes of actual class and the rest I was left to be on my own. The first hour the instructor Nico simply said "Go and feel the water". We kept going in this classical Windsurf line (one direction and back in the same one). Typically the teacher will give you feedback once you're back to where you started, but Nico simply went to Windsurf on his own. After this one hour I got some nice footwork feedback for a couple of minutes from Nico. This is exactly the kind of feedback I had expected but a lot more often. All the rest of the advice I got I had to directly ask Nico for it otherwise I would get nothing. The equipment also keeps getting smashed around in the Van while being driven there, so it's also not a big surprise that it's not in great condition. The driver was also not wearing a mask (yes, he did eat an apple during the drive, but the rest of the drive without eating was still done without one). Seems like this is a great Kitesurfing school but a below average Windsurfing school, unfortunately.
