Surf Gear HQ at the FaseWind Surf School: Navigating Two Bases, the Board Rack & Sail‑Rinse Station
If you love arriving at the beach ready to rig and ride—without the faff—this guide is for you. The FaseWind surf school at Camping Las Dunas runs two purpose-placed bases along the shoreline and provides a free board rack plus a covered sail‑rinse and drying area. Here’s how to pick the right base, stash your gear safely, and keep your equipment in top condition so you can maximize the Costa Brava’s thermal winds all summer.
Why FaseWind’s setup works for riders
- Two beach bases for easy access: A main hub beside the beach exit of Area B and a second base at the northern end of the beach near Area G mean shorter walks and faster water time.
- On-site gear care: Next to the surf shop in Area B you’ll find a dedicated board rack and a large covered area where you can rinse and hang sails after use.
- Free personal storage: Guests can store their own boards and surf gear free of charge beside the FaseWind surf school in Area B.
- Lessons and rentals for every level: FaseWind offers windsurf, kitesurf, skimboard, paddle‑surf, dinghy sailing, and SUP‑yoga—with classes for all ages and skill levels, plus a shop and rental service.
- Beach made for learning: Las Dunas features a wide sandy shore with a gently sloping, shallow entry, and a professional lifeguard tower overlooks the bathing zone in high season.

Store it right: board rack and covered sail‑rinse area (Area B)
FaseWind makes daily gear care simple with a large covered storage zone right by the Area B surf shop. It includes a dedicated board rack for boards and a setup to rinse and hang sails after your session.
- Free gear storage: Guests may leave their own boards and surf equipment free of charge in the covered area beside the surf school in Area B.
- Convenience for sail care: Fresh‑water rinse points and hanging space help remove salt and sand, reducing wear on monofilm and stitching.
- Easy transitions: Roll up from the beach, rinse, hang to dry under cover, and head to the shop terrace or the nearby beach bar while your kit drips off.
Practical gear‑care tips (industry best practice):
- Rinse salt and sand from sails, masts, booms, and extensions to extend material life.
- Drain water from mast sleeves and let sails dry in the shade to avoid UV damage.
- Rinse board footstraps and pads; check screws after drying.
- Keep fin/tip edges covered when racking boards to protect other gear.
- Coil lines neatly and keep walkways clear for other riders.
Courses, rentals, and the surf shop
The FaseWind watersports centre offers courses across multiple disciplines and supports both beginners and seasoned riders.
- Disciplines: Windsurf, kitesurf, skimboard, paddle‑surf, dinghy sailing, and SUP‑yoga.
- For everyone: Classes are organized for all ages and skill levels.
- Shop + rentals: The on‑site surf shop sells accessories and provides rental equipment for windsurfing, kitesurfing, and paddle‑surf.
- Where to check prices: Course prices are published on the FaseWind website, which is linked from the campsite’s surf‑school page (see also https://fasewind.com).
Why this matters for your plan:
- If you’re windsurf‑focused or want to browse gear and accessories, start at Area B.
- If you’re booking kitesurf lessons or trying the skimboard pool, set your meeting point at Area G.
