Surfing
Wind surfing developed from the sport of wave riding or surfing! One wanted to use the power of the wind instead of laboriously paddling against the waves. Already by the end of the 60’s wind surfing had begun. Modern materials make spectacular manoeuvres and speeds of up to 45 km/h possible. Rügen offers the perfect environment for every level of expertise. In Baabe the wave surfers have their fun with strong winds. The surfing area in Thiessow is the right choice, depending upon wind strength, for both beginners and also more advanced learners: Surf school Thiessow at www.surfschule-ruegen.de

In addition through supporting effect of the water, strain on joints and bones is clearly reduced, the heart is relieved and the circulation stimulated. Since swimming is inseparably connected with an island holiday, it is only mentioned for the sake of completeness!! Who could forget to take a swim in the sea when holidaying on Rügen?
