Course information

Registration for this course closes at Fri 18 Oct 2024 12:00.

If you feel like some fun and exhilaration then it is time to get on a board and learn to windsurf. You can choose to quietly cruise around Matilda Bay or develop your skills to go blasting around in the sea breeze, either alone or with the family. The choice is all yours! Windsurfing is a sport for all ages and is definitely a sport for life. Our Windsurfing courses are perfect for Teens and Adults.

 

Our windsurfing courses are:

-An excellent introduction into Windsurfing at Royal Perth Yacht Club.

-Practical skills oriented – we prefer you to be out on the water with a bare minimum in the classroom.

-The chance to learn self-reliance and independence whilst having fun.

-A recognised course, giving you a Nationally recognised Australian Sailing qualification and a useful starting point to your windsurfing adventures.

-Available for Teens and Adults.

 

We use the following boards and sails:

PATRIK WINDSURF E RIDE - An easy-learning maneuverable beginner board for all windsurf schools and for you and your family and kids too. 
Our unique colour-guided learning method will help you to teach and learn windsurfing in no time. Predefinded foot positions will help the beginner and intermediate to find the correct stance and balance quickly. The board also indicates the right of way rules on the water where the starboard tack got priority.
This board is praised by many surf schools world-wide. The E-Ride is the smart-learning windsurf board you will come to love from day one.

Our beginner board does also work extremly well for Wing-Surfing lessons as it reacts quickly to the lightest steering commands!
The E-Ride feels smaller than traditional school boards. Choose the 205 for an 85kg+ person, elderly people or people with physical or mental disabilities. Kids should always learn on the 165 or switch to the Micro-Ride 115 as early as possible.
The E-Ride 155 is your transitional board between a pure beginner and a more sporty but very foregiving intermediate board. The optional Centerfin will asssist you to point upwind and drift less in light winds. With the straps set all the way back and without the centerfin in the middle of the board the E-Ride 155 will convert into an entry level funboard with excellent passive accelleration and solid topspeed.

 

 

Our entry level rig is the PATRIK Ride which is a refined, light weight rig easily managed by beginners.

 

The transition rig is the Ezzy 4.7m Superlight which provides more power and is the perfect lead in to the full Techno 293 5.8m racing rig.
