When on holiday on Spain's Costa del Sol there are numerous water sport activities you can enjoy. However, it is important that should you decide to have a go at windsurfing then make sure that you find a good quality school to use. These will then help to ensure that you remain safe at all times and they show you the correct way to ride them.
Also you must make sure that the windsurfing school you choose to use is one that will supply you with the appropriate equipment. The kinds of equipment that they will supply to you shouldn't only include the board, but also the clothing and any safety equipment. One of the most important items that they should supply to you is a helmet.
Although this is a relatively safe sport there is still the chance of you being injured should the wind suddenly change direction. As a result the sail and mast can suddenly flip around and hit you on the head. But of course wearing a helmet will then ensure that you will not be harmed as the mast comes into contact with the helmet.
As well as a helmet that fits comfortably make sure that all the straps that will keep it in place. If the straps look at all frayed then ask them to supply a different one to you. Also make sure that after strapping it in place the clips that will keep it in place won't come apart should any effort be made to pull it off. Even a slight tug from a wave could cause the helmet to come loose.
Another thing you should be asking them to supply you with is of course a life jacket. This shouldn't be too bulky so that you can move freely whilst on the board and wish to change direction.
