About
I've spent 11 years with Alaçatı's thermal winds. I teach complete beginners step by step how to balance on the water, control the sail and get moving. Safe equipment choices and correct stance are my priorities; seeing a student's first planing take-off is my greatest joy.

It was my first time out in the Alaçatı wind, and thanks to Coach Deniz I was standing on the board by day two. She patiently explained how to hold the sail.
Very meticulous about safety. Once I learned to use the harness, everything changed — now I spend hours on the water.
An experienced instructor; her equipment recommendations really helped me. On busy days the group can get a bit crowded.
I panicked when the thermal wind picked up, but the instructor was right there beside me on the water. I progressed really fast.
Getting up on the plane is indescribable. A great instructor who teaches proper stance and body control.
