Meet La Ventana, the wind capital of the Sea of Cortez. ๐ช๐
We sat down with Ilaria and Emily of bajawing, the first wing-only school in La Ventana, Mexico, to talk about why this stretch of desert coastline has become one of the best places on earth to learn wing foiling.
The secret is the wind: a rare combination of the region's geography and thermal effects creates strong, consistent conditions from November through April. Add calmer waters, a sheltered bay, and a tight-knit wing community, and it's easy to see why so many riders make the trip.
Ilaria and Emily's advice? Don't just book a long weekend; plan for at least 2 weeks. It gives you enough windy days to actually build the skill, instead of getting skunked by the one or two days that don't deliver.
