Windsurfing Lessons on Demand

To accommodate the varied schedules of our members and provide additional times for windsurfing instruction, the Club is reviving a previous program which allows members to schedule a windsurfing lesson directly with an instructor at a time outside of the Club’s usual scheduled lessons. There are several experienced members who are willing to teach skills to individuals or groups at a prearranged time. This is a supplemental program to our normal Instruction and not a substitute.

(Note: to see instructor contact information, you must login to the site)

Here’s how it works

There's a list of instructors on the website. For each instructor, there's a bio to help familiarize prospective students with their background. The instructor also indicates the type of skills are willing to teach (First time (novice), water start, jibing, tacking, gear tuning, foiling, freestyle, racing...) and their email address. Prospective students will contact the instructor directly via email to request a lesson. The skill level, lesson contents, and any pre-requisites can all be discussed between instructor and student when arranging the lesson. (It is ok to request a lesson for more than one student). The instructor is also free to decline a lesson request since their participation in this program is on a voluntary basis. Lessons On Demand will not be offered during regularly scheduled Club lesson times, Club races, Fast Track events or Open Houses. Instructors earn volunteer hours for these lessons similar to hours earned during the Club’s normally posted lesson times. A Coordinator, Sofien Sehiri, will maintain the instructor listings on the site and facilitate the program.

Instructors

If you wish to sign up as an instructor, please email Rear Commodore a listing of the days and times you are available to teach. (This can be changed as needed). Please also send a brief bio outlining your windsurfing experience, indicate what level of student you wish to teach, what, if any, specific skills you’d like to teach and whether you are willing/able to teach,

After each lesson, remember to record your volunteer hours via the online site.

Students

To arrange a Lesson On Demand, look at the instructor bios below where you will find a brief windsurfing bio and info on their availability. You can then directly contact the instructor via email to arrange a lesson. Please understand that instructor availability is subject to change and that the listings do not represent a commitment to teach on the part of the instructor. NOTE: It is possible to arrange a group lesson, (more than one student). Please ask the instructor when arranging the lesson.

Let Us Know How It's Working. Send us an email. We want this to be a benefit for both students and instructors.
