We can help you get started to a beginner level and from then on you decide if you want to continue. There are YouTube videos on learning how to windsurf that are very good to watch. There is a small fee for equipment usage of $25 per session or $100 per season for 4 or more sessions. The learning equipment is easy to use and fairly forgiving. A wetsuit is optional but wearing a life jacket is mandatory. Water shoes also are a good idea. Old sneakers can work as water shoes too. There is also a form to fill out before starting. 

Contact Roger Bouchard for information on this year’s program through newsletter@newellsailingclub.com.

The Club owns a Bic Beach 185 liter board which is the perfect board to learn windsurfing on as it is fairly wide with a soft deck. A small fee is required to participate and this program is open to everyone but may be best for people over the age of 12. Kayaks are offered for use when there is not enough wind to windsurf. We now have a 4.4 square meter sail rig and a 5.5 square meter sail rig for training purposes. These are small enough to easily uphaul out of the water. Check our Buy & Sell page for available for purchase good used windsurf equipment.
