"Windsurfing alone in 1979, I experienced the universal frustration that was overwhelmingly associated with the sport. Eventually, I was able to sail the thing that was a Windsurfre 1 design with a teak boom and a huge triangle sail. Thank you to Hoyle Schweitzer and the inventors, a million times over, but now, an equally hearty thatnks to the new innocators in equipment who are making the sport easy and enjoyable for all. We have come a long way in the last twenty five years."

Prospective students will find a questionnaire below. Please complete it, as it will help us to help you if we know a few things about you and your experience when we schedule your first lesson. The easiest way to learn windsurfing is with a CLEAN SLATE but knowing of your other skills and experience will allow us to work with what you already know to customize your instruction.
