Welcome

Welcome to the Coromandel Outdoor Language Centre (COLC) Activities Blog. Activities are a big part of our school program, with various organised things to do each afternoon.
Over the next few months this blog will introduce to many of our activities and the people who bring them to you.. We will use lots of archive photos so if you have been to our school, or know someone who has, there just may be a photo of someone you recognize somewhere.
For more information about our school, visit our website activity.co.nz

Windsurfing




This challenging Activity is taught right here in Whitianga on Buffalo Beach. Our operators have a simulator which allows students to learn the basic skills on dry land. This makes it all a little easier once you get on the water. There are several different sizes and types of windsurfers and so students will be matched with a rig that suits them best. The instruction continues out on the water and most students are able to sail at least in a straight line on their first day. There is a safety boat on hand all the time and this is used to return the windsurfers to the best place for catching the wind. Everyone gets wet on windsurfing days
