Windsurfing Performance Clinics are designed to cover techniques that will make sailing today’s long and short boards a lot less work and a lot more fun. Advanced techniques require strong fundamentals. The clinics focus on those fundamentals necessary to master a wide variety of skills. From foot stance and harness technique to carve jibes and getting in the footstraps, the Performance Clinics teach proper technique so all the “forces” begin to work for, not against the sailor and enable her to sail longer, faster and with less effort. For 2020 – only TWO Performance Clinics are scheduled – one in March and one in April so escape the cold, get a jump on your skills and come Windsurf in Florida!
A low student/teacher ratio and limited enrollment ensure your progress. All clinics utilize advanced simulators, on the water coaching and state of the art equipment. All Clinics include equipment. Our Weekend Getaway Performance Clinics are limited to 8 participants.
Beginner clinics are limited to 6 participants. They are held on the same days as the Performance Clinics so you can bring along someone NEW to Windsurfing. All clinics require advance registration.
Weekend Performance Windsurfing Clinics – 2 Days
These new two days clinics are designed to give the Performance clinic experience with less impact on the traditional work week. They will still cover the fundamentals taught in Performance Clinics, but in a condensed format.
TWO DATES FOR 2020: Weekends of March 7-8 & April 18-19.
You should take a Performance Clinic if you:
- Need to learn harness technique.
- Want to improve your tacks and jibes.
- Can’t seem to get in the back strap.
- Spin out a lot when in the footstraps.
- Need a lot of wind to get in the footstraps.
- Bounce a lot when planing.
- “My parrot says I need lessons”!
- “can not use a big sail because . . .”
- If you want to have a lot of fun and learn an unbelievable amount in a short time.
Sail faster, longer, with more sail power and less effort as you learn to use technique rather than strength.
