Overview
Yenifoça Windsurf and Sailing Club was founded in 2011 on the Yeni Foça shore, a sheltered bay near İzmir with steady thermal winds. TYF-licensed instructors teach windsurfing to all levels "from 7 to 70"; there is a summer school for ages 9–14 following the federation's TUYEP syllabus and an Olympic-class youth squad. The club has rigging, storage and repair areas, showers, a café, a rescue boat and a lookout tower, with season membership and board rental.
