Windsurfing has led me to travel the world and meet a lot of people. I love this job so much that if I could afford it I would do it for free, I was extremely lucky to make my passion my work, and my office has an enviable view! – Andrea Facchin<\/h6>\n

A passion was born: the contact with the elements of nature (wind, water and waves) had given me immense well-being and I wanted to share this well-being with everyone<\/strong>. In the seasons from 1995 to 1997 I worked at my cousin’s school. In 1998 he and I founded a company and purchased another center (which we called Tornado and which I managed) 500 meters from Carlo’s one. Together we continued to promote the windsurfing discipline by collaborating as a Tornado Team. In 2006 we grouped the two centers together, creating a single center; but for logistical reasons it did not follow through.<\/p>\n

In 2012, due to erosion, I moved the center (westbound) to its current location. in the meantime, in addition to being a VDWS<\/a> windsurfing instructor, I had also become a sailing and SUP instructor.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2019 also Carlo, due to space problems, moved (eastbound), so that the centers were further away from each other.<\/p>\n

The collaboration continues to exist, but now the schools are two distinct entities. Hence the choice to find a new name for my center, and give it its own identity.<\/p>\n

I introduce you the ALOHA watersports center<\/strong> in Bibione.<\/h3>\n

Why Aloha? Well, the reasons are many:<\/p>\n
