Welcome to
HydroStation Water Sports
Hi there! I’m Timi.
As long as I can remember, the water has been my second home.
For over 20 years, I’ve spent my time windsurfing, kiteboarding, wing foiling, hydrofoiling, surfing, and sailing. If it involves water, I’m there.
I’m a professional watersports instructor and a licensed commercial captain, certified by both the US Coast Guard and the Israeli Shipping and Ports Authority. But more than titles and certifications, I’m someone who genuinely loves sharing this world with others.
HydroStation grew out of that love for the ocean and the feeling of freedom it brings. Over the years, I’ve coached competitive windsurfing teams and guided students step by step in sailing, on both catamarans and monohull yachts across the Mediterranean. I’ve worked with hundreds of students, from complete beginners to advanced riders, helping them build real skills, confidence, and feel truly comfortable on the water.
In my lessons, I focus on safety, clear and positive communication, and steady progress. But just as importantly, I want you to enjoy the moment. To disconnect from the daily routine, breathe, smile, and simply have fun.
At HydroStation, my goal is to create a professional, relaxed, and memorable experience for everyone. Whether it’s your first time or you’re looking to fine-tune your skills, I’ll be there to support you every step of the way.
Take the first step and book a lesson. I’ll take care of the rest.
See you out there!

Super knowledgeable and went above and beyond in helping me find the right beginner setup.

February 27, 2026Hydrostation is a goto spot for progressing through foiling. Not many places out there can handle instruction through getting and staying dialed with gear. The personal touch makes you feel... read more like you are getting yourself or whoever you refer over taken care of, which is key since foiling is pretty personal to body size, ability, fitness and preference. Plus it’s warm!!! Highly recommend:)

January 29, 2026I ordered a wing board from another retailer, upon delivery my board was missing all the hardware needed. I called the retailer and they didn’t answer my phone calls neither... read more my emails. Then I called Tim at Hydrostation watersports, I explained the situation. Tim was very professional and extremely kind! He sent me a new set of screws and hardware at no cost! I was very happy with the way he helped me without hesitation. He just wanted me to be able to use my new board and nothing else! I highly recommend Hydrostatic watersports! from now on I’ll be getting all my gear from them!

Timi was an excellent instructor for my first wingfoiling lesson yesterday. He has great gear, including a helmet with audio communication (no constant chatter, but super helpful to get realtime... read more feedback based on his observations, so I could adjust hand, arm, and foot position on the spot). I reached my goal of moving from kneeling to standing position (on a long board), being able to stay up while steering upwind and downwind, and jibing to turn. Timi has a methodical , well thought out approach, communicates clearly, and is a super nice guy as well. Looking forward to the next lesson!

September 20, 2025I can't say enough good things about Timi and his business, Hydrostation Watersports!! Being out of the sport of windsurfing for close to 30 years, I had no idea... read more where to go when the bug bit me again when I decided to relocate to the beach. In case you did not know it, windsurfing in the United States is kinda nonexistent. I was living in Western NC and just cold called him all the way down in Florida (some 600+ miles away). After telling him my background and how I wanted to get back into the sport, he made me feel so welcome. His 20+ years of experience on the water in a plethora of watersports was evident in his excitement to bring a fellow waterman back into the fold!! He painstakingly took the time over the next month via some 20-30 emails back and forth gathering up a COMPLETELY FULL gear setup/invoice. The sport and technology had changed SOOOOO much and he had been in it's transition in the time I was out of the loop. So lucky he saw both ends and was able to customize the order to ME. He explained the entire EASY process and a month or so later, I was picking up my direct from GOYA gear at a nearby (to me) airport and sailing a few hours later. Timi made me a very happy boy and fulfilled my dream of getting back on the water with NO comprimises!! The southeast U.S. is so lucky to have the best windsurfing dealer supplying the highest level of gear. I am so fortunate to have found him on just a simple Google search.

August 10, 2025Just like to point out that Timi did an incredible, amazing and awesome job helping me find the right board for my next stage in my wing surfing journey. You see... read more me in the photo receiving the KT Super K 2 Pro at the American Airlines Cargo deck at the San Francisco Airport. Later in the afternoon, I tried the board out, and to my amazement, I was able to nail 90%+ of my flying jibes, whereas even the day before, I was able to get only 40% of them right. This board is truly something else. Thank you Timi for being patient with my rigorous background check and keep serving from your heart. Makes all the difference.

July 17, 2025Follow up post: I finally had a chance to try out foiling for the first time along with my new gear. Wow totally crazy fun getting up on foil (on my... read more knees behind a jet ski)! Haven’t had a chance to work out flying while standing but did get close the couple of times I tried. Even my youngest daughter (21yr) wanted to try after seeing how much fun I was having. I can’t say enough about Timi and his guidance. His advice has been spot on! In a way he is teaching me how to foil long distance. Next step standing then changing out the jet ski for my wing. Thanks Timi for being truly interested in helping me figure this out. I typically don’t take the time to write reviews but Timi has more than earned this one! Original post: These guys are great! I have been thinking about getting into Wing Foiling ever since I saw some foilers flying above the water while I was in Hawaii a couple of years ago. I SUP on a lake in Northern Alabama but have never come across anyone Wing Foiling on it so decided to be the first. After watching lots of videos I reached out to several vendors with some questions and Timi at HydroStation Watersports immediately responded. He answered my questions and asked follow-up questions. It became obvious that he is passionate about foiling and wanted to help me get into the sport with equipment that would give me the best chance for success. He came up with several options that met my budget and experience level. To make a long story short, he is now my go to guy for foiling questions and equipment. The purchase process was smooth with no issues or concerns. I could not recommend Timi and HydroStation Watersports more!
