September 17-20, 2026 | Wind Center Playa Surf, El Médano
This September, we are welcoming Josep Pons to Wind Center Playa Surf for an exclusive windsurf coaching clinic in El Médano, Tenerife.
Three days of focused coaching, a small group, one of the most iconic windsurfing spots in the Canary Islands and a coach who knows exactly what it takes to progress, whether you are an amateur windsurfer or already competing at the highest level.
For us at Wind Center, this clinic is also something special.
Josep after so many years living, training and competing in the Canary Islands, he is a rider we can truly consider a Canarian local. Having him coaching here in El Médano, in conditions he knows so well, makes this collaboration one we are particularly excited about.
Josep Pons: pro rider, coach and one of the standout sailors of Tenerife 2026
If you followed this year’s Wind & Waves Festival and World Cup in Tenerife, you probably already know why we are so excited to have Josep back in El Médano.
Coming back from a serious injury and surgery in 2025, Josep produced one of the standout performances of the entire competition.
Starting from the qualifiers, he fought his way through an incredibly strong international fleet and eventually finished 5th overall at the 2026 Tenerife World Cup.
One of the biggest moments of his run came when he eliminated Marcilio Browne, five-time World Champion, on his way into the final stages of the competition. And his week in Tenerife wasn’t finished there.
Josep followed his World Cup result by becoming 2026 Spanish Master Champion, making El Médano the setting for one of the strongest competitive weeks of his career.
So when you join this clinic, you’re not simply training with someone who teaches windsurfing.
You’re training with a rider who is still out there competing against, and beating, some of the best windsurfers in the world.
A coach trusted by professional windsurfers
There is another side of Josep’s career that makes this clinic particularly interesting.
Josep doesn’t only coach recreational windsurfers. Professional riders also come to him to improve their sailing.
Throughout his coaching career, he has worked with riders including Marc Paré, Jaeger Stone, Robby Swift, Marcilio Browne and Moritz Mauch, among many others.
His work goes beyond simply watching someone sail and giving a few tips afterwards.
Josep combines his experience as a professional windsurfer with his background in physical preparation and a highly analytical approach to technique.
That means looking at what happens both on and off the water: technique, movement, equipment setup, physical preparation and all the small details that can ultimately make a big difference to your sailing.
And that’s exactly the philosophy we want to bring to this clinic in Tenerife.
Three days to work on your windsurfing
The clinic includes 3 days of coaching between September 17 and 20, giving the group some flexibility to make the most of the conditions in El Médano.
The exact program will be adapted according to the wind, waves and level of the group, but can include:
- On-water coaching with Josep
- Individual technical feedback
- Video analysis
- Physical preparation and training
- Equipment setup
- Technique, stance and control
- Jumping and wave sailing according to level and conditions
- Individual goals for each participant
The group will be kept small so that Josep can actually spend time working with every rider.
The objective isn’t simply to sail together for three days.
It’s to identify what is holding your windsurfing back, work specifically on it and give you the tools to continue progressing afterwards.
Choose the clinic package that works for you
Not everybody travels to Tenerife in the same way, so we have created three different packages for the Josep Pons Windsurf Clinic.
ALL INCLUSIVE – Hotel + Gear + Coaching
Want us to take care of everything?
The All Inclusive Pack combines the complete clinic experience with accommodation and windsurf equipment.
It includes:
3 days of coaching with Josep Pons
5 days of windsurf equipment rental at Wind Center Playa Surf
5 nights at Playa Surf CBbC Hotel with breakfast
Event T-shirt
Final dinner with the group
Access to Wind Center facilities
You arrive in El Médano and everything is ready for you.
It is also possible to organise accommodation for couples when only one person wants to participate in the clinic – so your partner can come and enjoy Tenerife while you spend your days on the water.
GEAR + COACHING – No Hotel
Already have somewhere to stay in Tenerife?
Choose the Gear + Coaching Pack and combine Josep’s three-day clinic with 5 days of windsurf equipment rental at Wind Center.
Having several rental days also gives you the possibility to sail outside the official coaching sessions and make the most of your trip.
ONLY COACHING – Bring Your Own Gear
Travelling with your own windsurf equipment or already based in Tenerife?
Then simply join the clinic with our Only Coaching Pack.
You’ll take part in the complete three-day coaching program with Josep while keeping your own equipment.
Participants will still have access to the Wind Center facilities during the clinic, as well as the event T-shirt and final dinner with the group.

Why El Médano?
There are few places more closely connected to windsurfing in Europe than El Médano.
September can still bring excellent wind conditions to Tenerife, but beyond the statistics, what makes El Médano so interesting for coaching is the variety of conditions available in a relatively small area.
And when you’re training with someone who has spent years sailing in the Canary Islands, that becomes even more valuable.
Josep knows these conditions.
He knows how the Canarian wind behaves, how to train here and how to adapt a session depending on what the ocean gives us that day.
That’s one of the main reasons why we are so happy to have a Spanish rider who can genuinely be considered a local of the Canary Islands leading this clinic at Wind Center.
More than a windsurf clinic
For us, these clinics aren’t only about spending a few hours on the water with a professional rider.
They’re about bringing windsurfers together.
You train, sail, analyse the sessions, talk about equipment, have dinner together and spend a few days completely immersed in windsurfing.
And this time, you get to do it with a rider who has just delivered one of the strongest competitive performances of his career – at the very spot where you’ll be training.
