This class is for members who are brand new to windsurfing AND for Novice windsurfers who are feeling rusty.
You must register for this class. From the calendar view, click here to register (you must be logged in). You won't be able to register until you have passed the Written Novice Test.
After taking this class, you will be able to safely manage windsurfing gear and have a basic understanding of sail steering.
The lesson will be taught by CSC volunteers and will include both on-land instruction and on-the-water practice. If you own a wetsuit you are encouraged to bring it, but a selection of wetsuits are available to borrow. Wetsuits are required for both safety and comfort. This is a water sport, you will get wet!
Topics covered:
- Orientation to club
- Safety & Self Rescue
- Carrying equipment
- Basic sail steering
- Turning around/tacking
Once you have completed the written test and this lesson, demonstrating that you can safely handle equipment and can self-rescue on the water, you will receive your Novice rating and will be able to check out Novice equipment any time the club is open and appropriate gear is available.

Before you can register for this class you must Read and TAKE the Novice written test. (20 mins)
