calvi honeymoon

We are going to Calvi for 10 days in June for part of our honeymoon. Does anyone know of any windsurfing schools in or near Calvi? Any other watersport/canyoning recommendations also welcome.

Thanks

If you are beginners at windsurfing, though, Calvi%26#39;s not a great place to start because, alhtough relatively sheltered, the wind is always 180% against getting back to where you started. And it%26#39;s a bit feeble and inconsistent in the corner from where you start (near the port) . You tend to find yourself surfing amongst the small children paddling

You might do better in Algajola, provided the wind isn%26#39;t too strong - it often is - because the wind blows more across and into the beach rather than out to sea and you can get back. Algajola is THE top place for windsurfing in Haute Corse.

You can just turn up and book when you arrive, from a shed on the beach, you can%26#39;t miss it. They%26#39;re friendly guys and the rates are reasonable. But their English isn%26#39;t great.

Not sure I have ever seen any windsurfing schools in Calvi. There are some diving schools however. Try the office of Tourism, they may be able to help:
