If you're looking for the perfect gift idea for a fan of extreme sports, why not consider a windsurfing experience day in Wales? Take a loved one or friend to the market town of Bala in Gwynedd and watch as they tackle the waves in an experience they'll never forget. The region's lake - Llyn Tegid - is a haven for watersport activities, from windsurfing and canoeing to sailing and rafting. But if you're not a fan of extreme sports, why not just watch from the jetty, or take part in some of the more sedate options on offer, such as taking a ride in a sail boat or fly fishing at the River Dee? As part of the experience day, learner windsurfers are taught how to master their board on dry land before taking to the water. Tuition is provided by World Championship gold medallists and a range of packages are available to suit the most inexperienced beginners to those at an intermediate or even more advanced level. And once they've mastered the board in light winds, they can move on to a higher level of training, where they will learn new techniques like the beach start and harness manoeuvres. Watch as they work to resist the wind and learn to guide and stay atop their board! You can choose between half-day taster sessions, novice courses, two-day packages and options developed specifically for junior windsurfers. Children as young as eight can take part in the half and full-day activities as part of an experience day in Wales, with groups of six at a time usually taught. Special equipment and wetsuits are provided but you're welcome to bring your own if you've got the kit, having already discovered your passion for the sport. If you tire of witnessing the action on dry land, take the chance to explore Bala's local attractions, such as the miniature steam railway and medieval 11th to 12th century earthwork castle Tomen y Bala, which is situated close to the high street. And if all the watery fun has whetted your appetite for something more exciting, why not take to the waves yourself? Windsurfing can be an exhilarating experience and with such a beautiful backdrop, who wouldn't want to give it a try?
