Best wind season in years in Alameda!

We have had one of the best seasons ever for wind this year.  We have seen more solid wind days than in any year since we started managing the school (2002). This has helped us get more beginners up and riding and stoked on their new gear!

Come out and get some of the good wind. The forecast for the 4th of July weekend is more of the same...and we are open all weekend (including the holiday tomorrow).

The NEW NEW THING in WINDSURFING instruction...

We had a sold out US Sailing Instructor Certification class this past weekend. Tinho Dornellas (owner of Calema Windsurfing in Merritt Island Florida) flew out to lead our class and certify 12 windsurfing instructors. For 4 full days (9am-6pm) we went through many hands on training exercises, including many new presentation techniques to help us teach beginners more quickly.

The best way to sum up the NEW NEW technology we learned is that we applied shortboard efficient planing techniques to longboard beginner instruction. These new techniques can help avoid the pitfalls of unbalanced sailing, such as beginning intermediate catapults, and get beginners progressing more quickly.

Come down to the beach and we'll show you some new stuff!!
