Windsurfing in Goa has become an extremely popular sport among both tourists and the locals. It is a unique blend of surfing and sailing and requires one to have a perfect sense of balance so that one can easily adapt to the changing patterns of wind and water.

In Windsurfing, a windsurf board is used that is usually two to four meters long. It is powered by the effect of the wind on a sail that ranges from less than 3.0m2 to more than 12m2 depending on the skill of the sailor, the conditions, and the type of windsurfing being undertaken. The rig is connected to the board by a free-rotating universal joint and comprises a mast, wishbone boom and sail.

In Goa, the wind surfing beginners enjoy the early morning hours when the sea is calm and the breeze is soothing. The experts prefer the strong winds in the afternoons as the more the strength of the wind, more comes the excitement of the sport.

Windsurfing in Goa can be enjoyed from May to October. The Dona Paula bay is known to be the ideal destination for every beginner according to Windsurfing trainers and experts. However a number of beaches in Goa such as the beaches of Bogmalo, Miramar, Calangute, Arossim, Uttorda, Benaulim, Vagator, Baga etc also attract visitors to carry out the adventure of windsurfing.

Goa organizes a Windsurfing Regatta annually that is a much awaited event for adventure-seekers visiting Goa from all across the world. The surface water sport also receives a lot of popularity during the annual National Windsurfing Championship, organized by the Board Sailing Association of India.
