Israel has become a country of surfers since the first surfboard was brought to Israel by a Californian doctor in the 1950′s. Whilst surfing in Israel is a popular sport, windsurfing and kitesurfing in Israel are also incredibly popular, with Israel having won Olympic medals for windsurfing. Windsurfing and kitesurfing take place along Israel’s Mediterranean coastline where a number of prestigious centers operate, as well as at the Sea of Galilee and in Eilat.
