Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy my own board or wetsuit to take a lesson?
No, you do not need to own any equipment to get started. Woollahra Sailing Club provides all the necessary windsurfing boards, rigs, and life jackets for your course. We recommend bringing your own swimwear, a towel, and sun protection, in adverse weather, it’s best to bring your own wetsuits or waterproof jackets.
How long is the adult windsurfing course, and can I just book a single class?
Our standard adult Learn to Windsurf courses are structured as progressive four-week programs with set dates . Because the curriculum builds upon your skills each week, we do not offer single ad-hoc sessions within the group courses. However, if you are looking for flexible, one-off timing, you can easily book a private windsurfing lesson with one of our instructors.
Is windsurfing only for adults, or can my teenager learn too?
Windsurfing is a fantastic activity for all ages! While we have dedicated four-week courses for adults, teenagers (ages 12 to 17) can experience the thrill of windsurfing during our action-packed Teens Holiday Programs . These school holiday camps provide a fun, non-competitive environment where teens can try windsurfing alongside sailing and stand-up paddleboarding.
What happens if I miss one of the dates in my four-week course?
To ensure a safe and supportive learning environment, our windsurfing classes strictly adhere to a 6:1 participant-to-instructor ratio . Because our courses are often fully booked and instructors are scheduled according to these strict safety ratios, makeup sessions are logistically difficult to accommodate, and we do not offer refunds for missed classes. We highly recommend checking your availability for all four dates before booking your course.
