WHAT IS THE EXPLORA ADVENTURES ACADEMY

For nearly three decades, adventure sports haven't just been a part of my life, I've spent 28 years, above all, teaching people how to fall in love with the outdoors the way I did. Kayaking, windsurfing, trekking, mountain biking, bike touring, skiing and in the last years wing foiling has become a big passion.

Today, this experience comes together in the Academy, a place to learn windsurfing, wing-foil, and skiing with an instructor who lives every one of these sports, season after season.

The Academy isn't a school with a single address, it's a philosophy of teaching and a moving project that follows the best conditions all year round.

In summer, you'll find me on the water at Circolo Windsurf Fano, on Italy's Adriatic coast, teaching windsurfing and wingfoil in one on the most charismatic areas of Italy with a big sailing tradition. I have been teaching in Tarifa, Creta, Mallorca. I always try to work in places that combine raw nature with cultural oriented and traditions that can feed the curiosity of those of you that come to visit and learn the sports. This current summer 2026 we are still in Fano, you can contact us to book any of our classes.

In winter, I move to the mountains, working with various ski schools across the Alps to teach skiing to students of every level. My last to seasons have been in a beutiful Austrian village called Schruns in the Austrian Alps, wich I have fallen in love with, the Silvretta Montafon skiing resort offers amazing variety and amazing snow conditions from December till mid April. You can combine other adventures like Mountain bike in early Autumn or Spring, Ski touring , Alpine skiing, snowshoeing, or beutiful winter hikes.

This rhythm isn't a limitation for me it's the foundation of how I teach. Being immersed in both worlds, water and snow, keeps my technique sharp, my teaching methods current, and my passion for adventure sports genuinely alive.

Independent, but never alone

As an Instructor I have an ongoing collaboration with established schools and clubs, in Fano and throughout the Alps, where I bring my own teaching style and personal attention to every student as well as offering the best services and facilities of the schools I work with, I am truly thankful and happy to bring this collaboration to offer you the best lessons and services.

Whether you join me through one of these partner schools or reach out directly, the result is the same: a course built around you, taught by someone who has spent a lifetime perfecting the craft.

Interested in a lesson, a full course, or a multi-day program? I'm always happy to organize something tailored to what you're looking for just get in touch.

Beyond lessons: team-building and outdoor experiences.

Teaching individuals is only one side of what I do. Over the years, I've combined my work as a sports instructor with the design and delivery of teambuilding workshops for companies and groups.

The Academy brings these two worlds together. Alongside private and group lessons, I organize:

  • Teambuilding sessions on water or snow — windsurfing, wingfoil, or skiing activities designed to build trust, communication, and collaboration within a team, in a setting no meeting room can offer.

  • Outdoor experiences for groups — from corporate retreats to friend groups and clubs, custom days or multi-day programs centered around the sport of your choice.

Whether it's a company looking for something different from the usual offsite, or a group of friends wanting to learn a new sport together, I design the experience around your goals, growing into the technical progress, team dynamics, or simply an unforgettable day outdoors.

Reviews by participants in Windsurfing - E-foil-and Wing-foil courses.

  • "I did a wingfoil and E-foil course in Italy with Roby. He’s a good instructor with a lot of patience and a real passion for watersports. When he was explaining something and I didn’t understand, he would show me, which helped me visualize it better. He is a caring teacher who really pays attention to his students. During the duo wingfoil lessons, he made sure to pair people together who would match well. After the wingfoil lessons, I was always able to spend some time practicing on my own for as long as I needed. This helped me a lot to build confidence in the sport and practice what I had learned during the lessons. After the course, I feel confident enough to wingfoil and E-foil on my own. Overall, I really enjoyed the course and would definitely recommend Roby as an instructor.."

  • WIr haben bei Roberto in Fano einen Wingfoil- und einen E-Foil-Kurs besucht. Die Bedingungen waren sicher nicht optimal, um den Sport zu lernen, aber die unglaublich motivierende Art von Robert, sein Enthusiasmus und seine Geduld haben das alles wett gemacht! Es gibt keinen besseren Coach als Robert! Danke! English translation - We took a wing foil and an e-foil course with Roberto in Fano. The conditions certainly weren't ideal for learning the sport, but Robert's incredibly motivating nature, his enthusiasm, and his patience more than made up for it! There's no better coach than Robert! Thank you!

  • I did a 6-lesson course with Robert and really enjoyed it. He was patient and kind, always smiling and encouraging! He explained everything calmly without ever making me feel rushed, even when I needed a few extra tries. It made the whole experience so much better. I’d definitely recommend Robert to anyone looking to learn windsurfing.

  • Excellent Windsurfing Instructor We had an outstanding experience with Robert Brown as our windsurfing instructor. He was friendly, professional, incredibly patient, and an excellent communicator. He explained every technique clearly, encouraged my children at every step, and helped them feel confident and comfortable on the water. The results were remarkable: in just a few days, my kids learned more with Robert than they had learned over several years of previous courses. His lessons were fun, engaging, and easy to understand, while his calm and supportive approach helped them progress quickly. I highly recommend Robert to anyone seeking an exceptional windsurfing instructor. His patience, communication skills, and teaching ability are truly outstanding. We are deeply grateful for his guidance and support!

  • Ti inoltro un'email per portarti i complimenti per quanto riguarda il corso di wing-foil eseguito assieme. Con tanta pazienze e visione del corpo sei riuscito a spiegarmi i movimenti e comportamento da tenere per questa nuova disciplina da me praticata. Rispetto dei materiali, comunicazione con altri corsisti ed altre qualità che hai dimostrato di avere per essere un eccellente istruttore. Esperienza bellissima con E-foil con diverse situazioni del mare, altro step di maturità ottenuto grazie hai particolari da te curati con semplicità e velocità. Grazie per ora e ci vediamo per estensione del corso, per vedere dove riusciamo a maturare ed arrivare come miglioramento. Saluti Marco
