Windsurfing Lessons For All
Ages & Abilities!

Group Instruction at Hood River Waterplay

There are two common ways to learn how to windsurf - trial and error or lessons.

The trial and error method can be a wet experience. We encourage beginners to attempt their first windsurfing experience in an official U.S. Sailing Level I lesson format. Windurfing lessons are FUN! Lessons make the learning experience more enjoyable, have you sailing much more quickly, and with a much better base of skills than if you try it on your own.

Remember windsurfing utilizes finesse--not brute strength. All of us at Hood River WaterPlay will make what appears to be difficult a lot easier and you'll soon be enjoying the sport of windsurfing!

A Hood River Waterplay Exclusive

Our daily program for:

  • We also have the Gorge Juniors Racing Team for those aspiring to race. We provide coaching all the way up to the Olympic, and World Class levels!

An introduction to high wind techniques -- each child will be given a harness, smaller board and gently introduced to a hi-wind sailing stance, hooking in, tacking and jibing with a powered up sail.

Kids learn to waterstart in shallow to chest deep water. Windsurfing lessons provide a risk-free way to learn. The lessons are Guaranteed.
