TWT aims to support the national athletes and also promote Turkish windsurfing activities and facilities to the world. Alacati is a great place with international level of proficiency and we would like to showcase this. Furthermore, Turkish athletes have gained quite a successful path in the recent years within all disciplines of windsurfing, so we also aim to show this success to everyone.

TWT (Turkey Windsurf Training) is the main organizer of this event and we are a bunch of windsurf lovers who aim to practice, race, learn and have fun together and we are where the wind is blowing! We choose the spots depending on the wind and spread the plan on our communication networks. Then the fun starts!

We plan the course, record our time in the water and talk about it at the end of the day, especially with the young guns. We motivate the youngsters on their windsurfing skills, share masters’ experiences and talk a lot about developments on the gears and correct combinations.  And we love to arrange windsurfing events on different occasions. Both competition and fun take place and windsurfers from different locations come together to enjoy the events. Apart from practice races and special events all through the year, we officially organized ‘Maritime and Cabotage Day’ races in July in 2021 and 2022, at ION Club Alacati.

All videos from those days are available on our Youtube channel

We will of course have music all through the day with some fun activities, so if we can’t surf than we can dance 😊
SO MUCH MORE FOR VISITORS
Alacati is a very popular holiday destination both for locals and international tourists. It has a unique style where you dash into little boutique shops and cafes to sip homemade lemonade, wander around the streets of charming Alacati old town. In the evenings this little cute village really comes alive. The streets are bustling and the atmosphere buzzing with people enjoying the fashionable restaurants and bars. Then only a short drive away from Alacati, definitely worth a visit, Cesme village is a a beautiful place to explore and Cesme Castle is the place to capture the history of the town. A climb to the top of the stairs at either side of Cesme Castle rewards visitors with amazing panoramic scenes of Cesme and the Aegean Sea. Apart from that Cesme offers quite a big number of beaches with crystal clear waters and high level of fun with live concerts and beach parties.
