Windsurfing
Lessons
Mariner Sails offers private on-the-water
windsurfing lessons on Friday Evenings
starting in May. Sessions are from 6:30
8:30 pm and will be held at Lake Ray
Hubbard or Lake Lewisville. Windsurfing
equipment is provided. Students must
provide water shoes (to protect your
feet from beach hazards), sunscreen
and drinking water.
Since our lessons are private, we can
adapt them to your particular windsurfing
needs from basic through early intermediate
techniques. Please feel free to let
us know if you have any specific needs
in areas like rigging, sail handling,
tacking, jibing, beach starting, transportation,
basic harness use and set-up, or anything
else and well be happy to accommodate
you.
Cost
Starting from $150 for
one person for two hours of Instruction.
Semi-private small group sessions are
available by quote. Reservations are
required one week in advance and are made
as scheduling permits. Availability
is limited and pre-payment is required.
Equipment
The right tools always make a job easier.
Our school equipment is designed to
make learning to windsurf easy, safe
and fun. Our state-of-the-art
fleet of school boards ensure our instructors
are able to match you up with the right
equipment for your current skill level
and sailing conditions.
Weather
On-the-water sessions are weather dependant.
We can compensate for wind conditions
with sail sizing in many cases, but
there is always a chance Mother Nature
will not cooperate. In these situations
our instructors, at their sole discretion,
will weigh the weather conditions against
the requirements for the session and
determine whether a reschedule is necessary.
Student
Requirements
The desire to Windsurf is our first
requirement. Bring an open mind and
the desire to learn and youll be Windsurfing
in no time. The physical requirements
are few. You will be required to wear
a life vest and must be able to swim
25 yards and tread water for 5 minutes
in more than 6 feet of water without
a PFD. Strength is not an issue, windsurfing
is more finesse and technique than brute
strength. You are required to notify
us of any Medical or Physical condition
that may put you or other students at
risk during your lessons. Protective
footgear you dont mind getting wet
is a must. Windsurfing itself
is not hard on your feet but sharp or
dangerous objects on the beach or underwater
can cause injury. Bring an appropriate
swim suit and dont forget your sunscreen
and water. Well provide the rest.
