Going on your windsurfing holidays? Make sure you pack your Flymount!

At the top of that list is the Flymount Aero 40, a must-have for any windsurfing adventure. Designed specifically to mount GoPros and other action cameras onto inflatable wings and booms, the Aero 40’s unique jaw design grips securely without damaging your gear, even when wet. For more versatile mounting, especially on rigid booms and masts, the Flymount Original is another brilliant option, providing an ultra-durable mount that’s built to handle windsurfing’s demanding conditions.

Other essentials to pack:

  • Spare SD cards for your action cam – particularly if you’re planning on shooting lots!
  • Sails and boards matched to the conditions at your destination if you’re taking your own gear.
  • Impact vest and helmet for wave sailing or strong wind spots.
  • Boardshorts, wetsuit, and rash guards depending on water temps.
  • Sunglasses with retainer strap and reef shoes for rocky beaches.
  • Spare fin, downhaul rope, and repair tape and ding stick – don’t get caught short!

Located on Brazil’s north coast, Jericoacoara—or ‘Jeri’ to those in the know—is a legendary windsurfing destination. With steady cross-offshore winds and warm Atlantic waters, Jeri provides perfect bump-and-jump and freestyle conditions. The vibe here is relaxed and bohemian, with sandy streets, sunsets over the dunes, and lively beach bars creating the perfect windsurf culture.

  • Reliable daily winds from July to January.
  • Flat water near shore and ramps/waves further out.
  • Chilled, social beach-town atmosphere.

Karpathos, part of Greece’s Dodecanese islands, offers some of the strongest and most consistent winds in the Aegean. The Devil’s Bay area is especially popular, with strong meltemi winds and flat water ideal for slalom and speed freaks. The landscape is wild and rocky, and the scene is more performance-focused than party-heavy, making it perfect for serious windsurfers.

  • Extreme wind conditions for speed and control.
  • High-wind training and progression.
  • Uncrowded spots with serious windsurf energy.

Italy’s Lake Garda is famous not just for its beauty, but also for its unique daily wind cycles. The morning “Peler” and afternoon “Ora” thermal winds make it a prime spot for both early birds and evening riders. With clean fresh water, a dramatic mountain backdrop, and excellent infrastructure, it’s a favourite for families and freestyle fans alike.

  • Thermal wind consistency and varied sailing times.
  • Stunning freshwater scenery.
  • A mix of flatwater and slight chop—ideal for tricks.

Le Morne, on the southwest coast of Mauritius, is a tropical dream for windsurfers who love both flatwater and waves. The inner lagoon offers crystal-clear, shallow waters perfect for beginners and freestylers, while just outside the reef, powerful swells create world-class wave riding conditions. With a relaxed island feel and lush surroundings, it’s the ultimate exotic getaway.

  • Warm water and consistent trade winds.
  • World class waves and flat water within one spot.
  • Scenic luxury with a laid-back island pace.

One of Europe’s most consistent windsurfing spots, El Médano in Tenerife is a year-round destination blessed with reliable winds and a mix of conditions. The bay offers bump-and-jump sailing, while wave sailors can head to Cabezo, a beach break just downwind. The local windsurf scene is vibrant, with rental shops, clinics, and competitions throughout the year.

  • All-year sailing with easy European access.
  • Lively town with a strong windsurfing culture.
  • Ideal for intermediate to advanced riders.
