I'm excited to announce the upcoming GRAN CANARIA Windsurf Boost Camp! I will join forces with Professional Windsurfing Coach and Caddy Jorge Vera Garcia (aka Dr Windsurf). Together we will guarantee everyone leaves the clinic loaded with every bit of knowledge necessary to take their sailing to the next level!
To get on the short list please:
What we all love about windsurfing is how fun it is to challenge ourselves on the water and try to do better and better every time we get out! Nothing more rewarding then going for it! Whether you are trying to improve your jibes, get into waves, go for your first front loop or get your forwards a few meters higher, land backloops and make sure your turns are more powerful and stylish - this is your chance to accelerate the process!
THE COACHES
As a Resident of Western Australia (and an Australian citizen since September) I have been teaching many people at Coronation beach for years. This time I will be joining forces with Jorge Vera Garcia aka Dr Windsurf - probably the best coach in the world!
Justyna Sniady POL 1111
As a professional windsurfer, I’ve spent countless hours analyzing footage of myself and other pro riders—identifying mistakes, discovering shortcuts, and refining techniques to learn moves faster and more safely. When I watch one of your attempts, I can immediately pinpoint what needs adjusting, explain how it should feel as you improve, anticipate potential challenges in the next phases, and guide you on how to overcome them.
Together with Jorge, we offer a streamlined path to mastering any wave moves you’re striving for. Whether it’s your first front loop, back loop, or advancing to the next level in your wave riding, we’ll help you achieve your goals.
Helping people improve their windsurfing is my passion, and there’s nothing better than seeing the pure joy on someone’s face when they land their first loop. If that’s your dream, I’m here to help make it a reality. By learning from us, you’ll fast-track your progress and save years of trial and error. Let’s take your sailing to the next level together!
Justyna's coaching style:
Justyna sailing in Gran Canaria
Jorge Vera Garcia E 173 Jorge was born on Gran Canaria - World renowned windsurfing mecca and home to the PWA World Tour Events since 30+ years. He has been windsurfing for over two decades. For the past ten years he's been travelling and training with Philip Koster (five times Wave World Champion), whom he also caddy's for during the PWA Events. If you need to know how to rig your kit he's your men! When he is not traveling, coaching or caddying he tests gear for the leading windsurfing brands like STARBOARD or SEVERNE.
He has watched an endless amount of heats (also as a judge at the Spanish National Championships) and sailed the most epic windsurfing locations around the world (Hawaii, South Africa, Australia, Mauritius, Canary Islands and others). He has also been coaching for majority of his adult life. All he's learned from sailing himself and from teaching others allows him to give very specific advice aligned to the style of the sailor he is working with. He's the best in the business and earned himself Dr Windsurf nickname. He has coached everyone from beginners and young kids to amateurs trying to improve their jibes or get into waves, all the way through to the PWA Pro riders. Takas, Wave 360s, Goiters, Doubles.. You name it - Jorge's got all the moves and all the tips! Being local to Gran Canaria Jorge makes not only for a great coach on how to master local spots but he's also a great guide and can advise on all things worth seeing and doing around the island.

Drone footage is great to analyse, so if the wind is not too strong, we will try to capture your moves from the air as well. We only work with the best and those who's passion goes beyond earning the buck and their priority is always to ensure you get "the shot".
The LOCATION
We will be sailing at the famous Pozo Izquierdo Beach on Gran Canaria - local training spot of multiple times World Champions Philip Koster , Bjorn Dunkerbeck and Moreno sisters. It is one of the world’s most iconic windsurfing locations.
Set on the island’s southeast coast, it delivers reliable, strong trade winds, side-on conditions, and punchy Atlantic waves—the same playground used by PWA pros. Expect windy days, small sails, and fast-paced sessions that are perfect for progressing jumps, wave riding, and high-wind control. It’s a demanding spot that rewards commitment and makes every breakthrough count.
Pozo Beach - home of the PWA Wave World Cup since 30+ years
Riders can expect very consistent northeast trade winds, blowing side-onshore almost daily, often building from late morning and peaking in the afternoon, with strengths commonly in the 20–35+ knot range, meaning small sails (around 3.0–4.2 m²) are the norm. The Atlantic provides regular wind-driven waves and rolling swell, creating ideal ramps for jumps, forwards, backloops, and wave riding, while the choppy water between sets keeps board control sharp.
THE CLINIC
The goal of this clinic is to show you the tools and give you the tips that will allow you to take your windsurfing to the next level. You will spend 5 days with like-minded people who all are trying to push themselves (and each other) to sail the best they can. We will live and breathe windsurfing. We will go over optimal gear set up, water safety and dealing with fear, manoeuvres' technique and style.*
Your training will be captured in HD (also with a drone) and we will be analysing everyone's videos daily to ensure you make the most out of your time on the water. After the clinic you can copy all the footage - it's yours to keep.

Riders can expect very consistent northeast trade winds, blowing side-onshore almost daily, often building from late morning and peaking in the afternoon, with strengths commonly in the 20–35+ knot range, meaning small sails (around 3.0–4.2 m²) are the norm.
Temperature
Air temperatures sit comfortably around 24–28°C, water temperatures hover near 20–22°C.
Wetsuit A short wetsuit can be enough, but as an extra protection from impact and sun we recommend brining a long thin (3/2 mm) wetsuit as well.
Won't it be too windy to learn? Pozo is very windy, but part of the clinic is about giving you all the tips and tools to master strong winds. If the wind gets too strong in Pozo, we can always drive 15min and sail in Vargas (where you usually need a size or two bigger sail). More questions? Contact me
