Learn to Windsurf!

WINDSURFING LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

While we provide windsurfing instruction to our members, we are NOT a windsurfing school. Our membership is made up of people who love sailing (all skill levels- including those who have never sailed but want to learn) and those who want to be part of a sailing community that includes volunteering, teaching, making friends, meeting new people, racing, windsurfing, and being part of a club.

If you are interested in only learning to windsurf and not volunteering your time to the club, we can recommend some windsurfing schools nearby including: Michigan Windsurfing & Torch Lake Windsurfing.

If you’re ready join a great group of people or are already a member, welcome!! We hope to see you out there soon.
