THE SPOT

Alaçatı

Alaçatı is one of the world's best windsurf learning destinations. A huge shallow bay with warm water, an easy beach entry and mostly flat conditions makes it an incredibly safe and forgiving place to learn, improve and build confidence, while reliable Aegean thermal winds keep you powered day after day. Off the water, Alaçatı's old town delivers the best of the Aegean: stone houses, windmills and some of Turkey's finest food culture, just a short walk away.

“This was my 4th NP7 Experience and also this time it was fabulous again. It’s remarkable to pickup new aspects each time from the theory, the video analysis and for example the sail rigging and tuning. Again great team, nice atmosphere and a pleasant location to be!”

“This was a first for me and getting to know Nico, Lars, Dennis and Alacati was a really magical moment at the top of my 48 years! I recommend this experience to anyone in any level because you will learn a lot of new tips and techniques for sure, will be in the water with pros and drones watching you closely focused on your evolution; and you will have a blast off the water meeting exciting new people, a so nice crew and an awesome vibe! I brought my wife that doesn't windsurf along and she loved the spot, the vibe with everyone and the sun. Go and don't regret a thing! Tks and congrats to Nico and the whole team!”

“What this week made special was the perfect surfspot with easy conditions to learn combined with tremendous effort of the team to take care of every detail. And of course the opportunity to learn from one of the best.”

“NP7 Experience Alaçati gets top top ratings, from start to finish. The whole experience was incredible! Everything (from hotels, transfers, special requests, etc.) was smooth, stress-free and very well organised. The group clicked instantly and there was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with lots of laughter (on and off the water). The coaching was top notch - personalized, video analysis + drone footage, theory, technique, and Nico sailing right behind you when you're on the water to analyze every detail of your technique - it was simply outstanding. All the video and photos captured all the wonderful memories. I didn't expect Alaçati to be such a gem - it's a great place to bring partner/family/kids whether they want to join the experience or not. I loved everything about the place, from the accommodation, the food, the evenings out and, of course, the cats of Alaçati. I don't think I'e had this much fun in a while!”

“The setup, coaches and the total experience was just so much more than expected. You guys are just so humble and service minded. Only ”problem” I would say was the setup of gear and quality. Slippery boards and ASPC team couldn’t have been better. Just to move foot straps the was no good tools and a powertool is quite cheap for them to have.”

“It was my first NP7 Experience and for sure not my last one! The organisation was professional and I felt very well taken care of throughout the entire process, from booking until arrival and also during the entire week. Pick-up, shuttle transportation, drop-off and all other arrangements in between including the hotel and also the lunch and dinner arrangements were organised perfectly! Everything worked like clockwork. The vibe among all of us participants was amazing and it almost felt like a surftrip with friends....and I must say, many of us really did become friends during this week in Alacati. The only sad thing was that there was only wind on 2 days, which is of course nobody's fault, but it had the result that there was not enough video footage from all of us that could be analysed properly to see the progress over these 2 days. But nevertheless, I have learned so much and Nico was able to discover 3 crucial mistakes in my jibes, that I could work on, and after I returned, I got another chance to practice at my home spot in Austria with the amazing result, that I have definately improved my jibes so significantly now, that I have to say: it's a miracle what Nico acheived in just 2 days on the water and the feedback session on land. I am so greatful and I can absolutely and 100% recommend this experience to every windsurfer who wants to finally crack his own plateau or who wants to improve his skills! Hope to be part of it again soon! Mike”

“Great experience at NP7 Alaçatı. Nico Prien is not only an outstanding professional and coach, but also a genuinely great person. The spot in Alaçatı is perfect for windsurfing, even though we were a little unlucky with the wind during our week. Even on the lighter-wind days, the time was never wasted: we worked on theory, movement repetitions to improve technique before getting back on the water. The surf center is very well organized, with excellent equipment and logistics. Everything is easy and professionally managed from start to finish. Highly recommended — not only for advanced riders, but also for anyone who wants to improve, whatever their level. I’ll definitely be back!”
