In 1968 Hoyle and his wife Diana registered a company called Windsurfing International and simutaneously protected the concept &bdquo;windsurf&ldquo;. In only a few years the windsurfing craze was spread to Europe and Australia, and in 1984 was included as an olympic&nbsp; sport. In <strong>Croatia<\/strong>, the first windsurfers appear already in the 70&rsquo;s when they begin to organize clubs and sections, and throughout the 80&rsquo;s the first major competitions and championships take place.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Well known windsurfing destinations in Croatia are in <strong><a title=\"Umag Croatia Adriagate.com\" href=\"\/\/www.adriagate.com\/Croatia-en\/Umag\">Umag<\/a>, Punta, Preluk, Rabac, St. Marina, <a title=\"Medulin Croatia Adriagate.com\" href=\"\/\/www.adriagate.com\/Croatia-en\/Medulin\">Medulin<\/a>, <a title=\"Nin\" href=\"\/\/www.adriagate.com\/Croatia-en\/Nin\">Nin<\/a>, <a title=\"Island Pag Croatia Adriagate.com\" href=\"\/\/www.adriagate.com\/Croatia-en\/Island-Pag\">Island Pag<\/a>, <a title=\"Bol Croatia Adriagate.com\" href=\"\/\/www.adriagate.com\/Croatia-en\/Bol-island-Brac\">Bol <\/a>on the <a title=\"Island Brac Croatia Adriahate.com\" href=\"\/\/www.adriagate.com\/Croatia-en\/Bol-island-Brac\">island of Brac<\/a> <\/strong>as well as Kuciste and Viganj on the <a title=\"Peninsula Peljesac Croatia Adriagate.com\" href=\"\/\/www.adriagate.com\/Croatia-en\/Riviera-Peljesac\"><strong>Peljesac <\/strong><\/a>peninsula. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Kolai3.jpg\" alt=\"Zlatni Rat Beach Croatia Adriagate.com\" width=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The ideal winds for windsurfing in Croatia are bura, maestral wind&nbsp; and jugo (southern wind) with its variations. Ideal wind for extreme surfing is jugo (souther wind) which creates huge waves and blows constantly, while the more frequent wind bura is perfect for high speed, tricks and jumps. Maestral&nbsp; is a summer blessing for surfers since it is very comfortable and predictable. It begins in the afternoon and intensifies until sunset.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>If you have not yet tried &#8220;riding the waves&#8221; learn something new.
