Windsurf Level I | Windsurf Level II | Windsurf Level III

Weekend Classes for Ages 14 and Up

We offer windsurfing courses on the weekends for all levels of windsurfers. Whether it's your first time trying to stand on a board, or you're trying to pick up some new skills after years of windsurfing, we have a class to fit your needs. These are group classes, appropriate for persons age 14 and up. For younger children, ages 9-15, please see our Windsurfing and Sailing Summer Camps. Or, if you're interested in sharpening up your skills in private lessons, we offer those as well.

Basic Windsurfing: Level I

You’ve watched those sails on the Bay from 101 and seen those amazing pictures on magazine covers… now, you’re ready to try it! Learn to windsurf in a weekend with our certified instructing staff! With an outstanding curriculum and the use of land simulators, students will be up and sailing in a matter of hours regardless of age, strength, and size! Tacking (turning), rigging, nomenclature, self-rescue, water safety, and a myriad of other topics will be covered as students earn their certifications! After class, students will be ready to rent the equipment and practice their new skills!

What To Bring

Appropriate for ages 14 and up. Students must be comfortable swimming and treading water. Students should bring comfortable clothes, a bathing suit to wear under the wetsuit we provide, a jacket or fleece, a towel, lots of sun protection, a lanyard to secure their glasses around their heads, a bottle of water, and non-skid/non-marking shoes to wear while windsurfing (they will get WET - tennis shoes, aqua socks, or Teva sandals work great!). Courses include all necessary equipment including wetsuit and a text, if applicable.

Intermediate Windsurfing: Level II

Take your skills from the introductory level and begin to improve your comfort with the equipment, tacking, jibing, and balance. Our certified instructors will work with you to improve your stance, technique, and steering.
