"I had such an awesome time last
weekend. Flying in the wind for so long and only on my second day! Thank
you. All I think and dream about is windsurfing now. You really
know how to teach! This is better than sailing on a Hobie Cat 16 on the
bay!!"

"[Our instructor] created a
comfortable atmosphere in which learning and making mistakes was fun.
The on-the-water feedback was excellent as was the simulator. The
