We offer all levels of windsurfing lessons for you and your entire family. Total beginners will start on the Longboard lessons learning all the basics and sail handling skills. Our friendly instructors will teach you how to sail, and how to "read the wind". The beginner lessons are scheduled in the mornings when the wind is lighter. We use small sails that are easy to lift and manage. We have small sails for kids as young a six, and every size for the bigger riders.  Longboards are big floaty boards that are very stable and easy to use. They make it possible to be up and riding on your very first lesson. After a week or so on the longboard, you may want to try the some shorter boards in the stronger winds.

Advanced Windsurfing:
To go faster in stronger winds. On Maui we have plenty of strong winds, so it is a natural progression to move onto a shorter board. The key to riding the shorter boards is the "waterstart". The waterstart is a skill that catches the wind under the sail to pull you onto the board without having to pull the sail up yourself. Waterstart is a special skill that has a class all its own. The waterstart is sooo much easier to learn in a proper lesson. it takes a very long time to learn this skill by yourself. Once you have the waterstart, it opens the doors for high wind sailing, and all the other shortboard skills, harness, footstraps, jibing, and jumping.

WATERSTARTS: To enter the world of short board windsurfing the waterstart is essential. We teach this specific skills in a single 90minute group lesson or over several lessons. Waterstart Skills are essential to get onto the short boards for high wind sailing. A must if you live in Maui. We start these lessons around midday when the wind is stronger. (No shortboards are allowed to be on the water before 11am). We recommend wearing a life jacket for buoyancy.
 

SHORTBOARD SKILLS: Beyond waterstarting and before the jibe there are many skills to be learned. The shorter boards are more sensitive to weight shifts. We work on sail handling, Beach Starting, planing, mast foot pressure, stop jibes, footstraps and harness use. These skills can be combined onto a single overview  of the skills or separeted into several specialized sessions. We usualkly recommend a transition style board for this lesson 295cm boards of 120-150liters will be ideal. All the basics of shortboard riding, Foot straps, harness use and getting on a plane to name a few. this is definitely an afternoon lesson because we want some decent wind to counterbalance our sails. Before planing and harness skills are mastered it is better to have a slightly larger board and a smaller sail size.

JIBING: Shortboard Turns take a coordination of sail and board control. The downwind turn doesn't have to be a mystery. With our step by step lesson plan, we can unlock the secrets and teach you how it's done. Whether you are trying it for the first time or you have struggled for a while - we can help you. jibing Lessons are taught from shore for first time jibers.
