When the everlasting summer island of Saipan feels somehow cooler and the wind starts to blow on the calm micro beaches, windsurfing season has arrived. The best season for windsurfing is from November to March.

There are not only advanced skiers who can enjoy planing all the way to the coast of Managaha Island, but also beginners who practice in the clear, warm water even in winter in the area near the beach, which is shallow enough to touch your feet. Everyone enjoys relaxing and windsurfing on Mariana Saipan, the island of eternal summer.
There is also a trial course where Japanese instructors will carefully teach you the basics, so you can try something new in the warm and beautiful sea! If so, why not try windsurfing on Saipan?
