Website and publications

Pictures and information are offered by partners, cooperating and professional photographers, and licensed pictures from the internet.

It could be that the picture and the location or accommodation do not actually match. This could be because of the difference in time, season, or weather, or because of the difference between the many rooms or accommodation on location.

Gecko Windsurf isn't responsible for any of these differences. Possible mistakes in our advertisement, website, or promotional material — we will try to correct on our website, but mistakes can always happen. Please tell us so we can correct it. No rights are reserved to this information.

When you make a booking with Gecko Windsurf School, you agree with all the terms and conditions stated by Gecko Windsurf (which may later be called "GWS"). It's important you are familiar with our terms and conditions before the agreement. When you book, we will state that you have read our terms and conditions as well as the information on our website.

Privacy

When you fill out a form, request information, enroll for the newsletter, or book a course or holiday, we need your information.

When you reserve your spot in a course or holiday through the form online, we need to know your name and details to confirm legal participation. We use that information for our purpose only.

Your information will be confidential and treated with care. We will not share your information with third parties. Our website can sometimes track your choices and clicks on our pages — we only use this information to improve our website and service. It will not be shared with any other site or third party.

Prices

Our prices may vary between bookings, depending on season, demand, and fluctuation. It could also happen that we offer last-minute options or a promotion. We try to keep prices as low as possible to let as many people enjoy the good life — this is what we aim for. You'll find our most current prices on the links at our website.

Booking and reservation

When you fill out the form on the website, you reserve a spot in one of our courses or holidays. To confirm your reservation, we will continue the process of booking by email and/or phone. Your booking becomes definitive from the moment we receive your first down payment and your agreement with our terms and conditions.

If you make a down payment through the payment option on the website, your booking is confirmed and you will receive a confirmation email, and we will contact you.

Gecko Windsurf School keeps the right to make changes or cancellations, forced by circumstances outside of our area of control. You will always be informed.

Payments

The down payment is 50% of the price for the courses, as well as for the camp and accommodation option. You can pay this immediately using the payments link on the website. The rest of the balance can be paid within 10 days before arrival if you'd like to pay by bank transfer. Cash payments can be made on the first day of your course.

If you wish to pay the last part on arrival at your windsurf course with us, you can ask this in your booking.

Cancellation

Booking Windsurf/Wingfoil classes + accommodation: a 50% down payment is asked to book your spot. Upon arrival, you will pay the remaining 50% balance directly (ideally in cash). Cancel more than 14 days prior and you get the full deposit back. Cancel within 14 days, and we keep the 50% deposit.

Booking only Windsurf/Wingfoil classes (without accommodation): a 50% down payment is asked to book your spot. Upon arrival, you will pay the remaining 50% balance directly to us, ideally in cash. Cancel more than 24 hours prior to the class and you get your 50% deposit back. Cancel less than 24 hours before, and we keep the 50% deposit.

Cancellations are accepted by email or phone. We accept any cancellation announced within 5 days after the reason for cancellation occurs. Only then, with cancellation insurance and reasonable cause, are you entitled to a (partial) refund of your travel costs.

Gecko Windsurf can only process a cancellation if it is handed in by the main responsible booker, by phone or by email. Travel companions aren't necessarily responsible and therefore cannot report the cancellation.

Gecko Windsurf will always try to find a proper and comfortable solution, but can never be held responsible for your cancellation.

Insurance

Be smart and check if watersport activities are covered by your travel insurance. The school carries insurance for the use of teaching and equipment by students.

As our client, you are aware that there are risks involved in our activities. Taking part in our windsurf course is completely at your own risk. As a participant in our windsurf course, you agree with this statement (terms and conditions) during the booking, and agree not to hold the organisation, nor cooperating schools, responsible for any damage whatsoever, occurring by any cause. Taking part in our windsurf course can only continue after signing, and therefore agreeing to, this statement by all participants in the booking.

Main responsible booker

The person booking the course or holiday — including when booked for more than one person — is the main responsible booker.

Underaged bookings

Persons under 18 years old are considered underaged. When you book and you are under the age of 18, you agree and state that there is approval from a parent or legal guardian. In any case, we are not responsible for underaged participants and always have the right to refuse participation.

Accommodation

The only accommodation you can book directly is the Surf Hostel in Corralejo. For all other options, please ask us and we can confirm availability and send you more information.

As a participant in our courses or holidays, you are always responsible for any damage to materials, to the organisation, or to third parties involved in the course, caused by the participant. You are also always responsible for any damage caused by you to the accommodation, its furniture, and surrounding area.

Changes

After your booking is confirmed and the down payment has been made, you can make changes to your stay until 3 days before arrival, as far as changes are possible.

If you want to change anything during your stay with us, that's possible too — just ask us on the spot and we'll inform you of the costs and possibilities.

Cancellation by the organisation

When there is a well-founded reason, based on rightful grounds, Gecko Windsurf can cancel or move a course up until a couple of days after its planned beginning. Keep this in mind.

Travel information

After we receive your down payment and confirmation, we will send you your travel information about 7 days before arrival. This will include everything you need to know about your trip and holiday, sent via email.

You need to check your tickets and vouchers for correct information. If anything is incorrect, please contact Gecko Windsurf as soon as possible.

Travel documents

It is illegal to travel with an invalid passport or ID card. In some countries you can only travel with a passport that has at least a few months left after the end of your trip. It is your responsibility to be informed and aware of this, as it is your responsibility to have the correct travel documents. Gecko Windsurf can't be held responsible for this.

If you don't hold a nationality from a European Union country, you need to check with a Spanish embassy whether you need a visa.

Behaviour

Any misbehaviour, or not following the direction of the organisation, can result in dismissal from participation without a refund. This is always the decision of the organisation.

Copyright

© 2026 Gecko Windsurf. Nothing from our website, promotional materials, or emails can be copied, multiplied, and/or published — by photocopy, microfilm, or any other way — without the written approval of Gecko Windsurf beforehand.

Unhappy or complaints

If you have any complaints about the trip, holiday, or course, or if you are unhappy with the accommodation, you need to inform us immediately, on location. Please contact us directly by phone or WhatsApp — this way we can take action immediately. Telling us afterwards is often too late to improve or change the situation, so please inform us on time.

Language

We don't speak or write mother-tongue English, so if you spot a mistake in spelling or grammar, please let us know so we can improve.

Communication can take place in English, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or Bulgarian.

We hope to meet you soon!
