Windsurfing Beginner Class

Getting a good start in windsurfing is essential to your success. A successful first day depends on correct equipment and suitable weather conditions. Learning to windsurf is a lot easier if someone shows you how. Patient and professional instructors are worth their weight in gold. The beginner lessons take place at a great sailing location with a sandy beach surrounded by a protective reef. You'll only sail if the weather conditions are suitable. You'll be given a specialized beginner's board that is strong and stable. Your instructors then select a sail for each individual student. The size of the sail should be matched to each individual based on height, weight and strength. This is a very important step to ensure your maximum enjoyment.

Action Sports Maui, your host, pride themselves in the ability to offer individualized equipment selections thanks to their unmatched quiver of sails. Once you have your equipment, they show you how to put it together. (This comes in handy if you want to rent equipment at a later time or you are buying your own). The rigging process is an important part of windsurfing and it's easy when they show you how. Next they take you onto the sand for a short theory lesson. You'll learn where to sail, how the wind works and what to look out for. They show you how to align your board to the wind, how to pull up the sail without straining your back, turning techniques and sailing and steering techniques. Then they take you onto the water. Your instructor will get into the water with you to help you apply the techniques you have learned. You won't go too far from shore and they concentrate on giving you a reliable technique that will give you confidence in the water. The instructors start by holding your board in the shallow water as you get going, giving you constant feedback and encouragement. Then as you progress a little further from shore, your instructors sail right alongside you on their own boards.

If you get tired you can simply sit down on the board and if necessary, your instructor can sail you and your board back to the beach where you can rest before trying again. They always keep a close eye one you so that you are never left to get blown away or frustrated. This beginner's lesson shows you many of the basic windsurfing techniques. After the lesson you will be confident enough to rent beginner's equipment and practice on your own.
