TWS Pro Slalom Training

Tenerife Windsurf Solution temporarily suspends the TWS Pro Slalom Training for Winter 2026 due to environmental restrictions

El Médano, Tenerife – October 2025 – Tenerife Windsurf Solution (TWS), one of the world’s leading windsurfing centres, announces that it will temporarily suspend its TWS Pro Slalom Training program for the upcoming winter season (January–March 2026) due to newly implemented environmental regulations in the El Médano training area.

The new restrictions prohibit the use of anchored buoys, making it impossible to set up the traditional slalom racecourse used in the TWS Pro Slalom Training.

This same issue affected the PWA World Cup in El Médano earlier this year, where organisers were forced to rely on GPS-based marks instead of physical anchors. While these GPS systems offer a potential alternative, they are extremely expensive and demand significant technical maintenance and manpower, rendering them not economically feasible for TWS operations at this time.

Despite this temporary setback, Tenerife Windsurf Solution will continue offering high-end slalom gear for rent from the world’s leading brands and will maintain its scheduled Slalom Clinics with Jordy Vonk (Duotone Windsurfing), Antoine Albeau (Severne Windsurfing) and others, allowing athletes and recreational windsurfers to continue training, testing equipment, and developing their skills under expert guidance.

“We understand how important the TWS Pro Slalom Training has become to the global slalom community,” says Harco-Jan Folkerts, founder of Tenerife Windsurf Solution. “We are actively working on long-term solutions and are hopeful that by winter 2027 we can bring back the full-scale Pro Slalom Training program in El Médano.”

Tenerife Windsurf Solution remains committed to delivering world-class windsurfing experiences and to supporting the sport’s continued growth and excellence in Tenerife and beyond.
