The worldwide surf community enjoys waves to ride in more areas than one would think. These diehards can even be admired in Europe, on the Atlantic coasts of Portugal, Northern Spain, France, England, Ireland and Scotland. But this tough community can mostly be found in tropical and subtropical areas where the waves break on the surf of ocean coasts. They are frequent guests at Club Mistral as well. Surfboards initiated the development of windsurfing boards, kite- and snowboards. The standards that surfing materials must meet are justifiably high. Mistral surfing plays a significant role in this respect.and will continue to do so.
