Looking for a flexible way to explore the water at the UC Aquatic Center? In addition to our classes, we also offer equipment rentals—perfect for your own adventure on your schedule!
Level 1: Introductory Course
Come join us for a fun beginner windsurfing class! No prior sailing or surfing experience is needed—most participants have never sailed or been on a surfboard before. Our expert instructors make learning enjoyable and easy in a supportive, high-energy environment that fosters camaraderie among the group. Many participants say it’s one of the most fun weekends of their year!
Living near the Bay and not windsurfing is like living in Tahoe and not skiing. Take this class, and you’ll be up and windsurfing on the first day!
After completing the course, you’ll have the option to rent equipment and continue practicing with instructor approval. Don’t miss out on the adventure—come experience the thrill of windsurfing with us! This introductory course includes two sessions, and to get the most out of the experience, you’ll need to attend both dates.
Price: Students – $30 / Non-student price – $175** – all participants must register or waitlist individually
**Course fee non-refundable less than 24 hours prior to the first class meeting
