Windsurfing Level 4

Advanced Hook and Foot $79

• If you're sailing shortboards in 15 + knots without your harness or footstraps, your rides probably feel like "Wet Bronco Billy Rides!" In the Hook & Foot Class you'll learn how to effortlessly sheet in and sail faster. This class will teach you that by changing your body mechanics, using the footstraps and harness with accuracy and commitment, you will stabilize your hi-wind sailing. We'll teach you how to get planing quicker and how to keep from getting launched. No more Bronco Billy Rides, this class will make high wind shortboard sailing fast and friendly. After your Hook & Foot Class you'll be able to sail in Cruise Control.

Windsurfing Level 5

Carving and Step Jibes $79

• If you've never tried one or you need to learn how to finish one this class is for you. We've expertly broken down the jibe so that it's easy to learn. In this class, first you'll memorize and practice the right moves of the jibe on land. Then you'll take your lesson to the water with the instructor near by. You'll get immediate feedback as your jibe happens. Additionally, wind permitting, you'll be video taped, so you and the instructor will clearly see what's next for your jibing.
