A focused windsurfing session designed to suit all abilities, whether you’re stepping on a board for the first time or refining your technique. This private or semi-private lesson gives you dedicated time on the water with guidance tailored to your level. Set at Cabrillo Beach, it’s a great place to build confidence and enjoy steady conditions.
Your session begins on the beach with a clear introduction to the equipment and key techniques. You’ll go through board positioning, sail control, and how to use the wind to move efficiently. This part is kept simple and practical, giving you the confidence to get started without feeling overwhelmed. The instructor will adjust explanations depending on your experience, so beginners and returning participants both get what they need.
Once you’re comfortable, you’ll head into the water within the sheltered marina area, where conditions are calm and manageable. This allows you to focus on balance, steering, and controlling speed without dealing with waves. You’ll spend most of the session practising on the water, with ongoing feedback to help you improve quickly and safely.
As the lesson progresses, you’ll start linking movements together, building smoother control and gaining a better feel for how the board and sail respond. More experienced participants can work on refining technique, improving efficiency, and developing stronger handling in the wind.
The session takes place at Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro, a well-known windsurfing spot in Los Angeles. The lesson area is set within the marina, offering flat and sheltered water that’s ideal for learning and progression. This environment helps reduce distractions so you can focus fully on developing your skills.
You’ll meet by the beach playground before heading over to the lesson area. The surrounding beach park has open space and facilities, making it a straightforward meeting point before getting started on the water.
No prior windsurfing experience is required, and complete beginners are welcome. The session is designed to adapt to different ability levels, so whether you’re new or have some experience, the lesson will be adjusted to suit your pace.
Participants should be comfortable being in the water and able to follow basic safety instructions. A willingness to try something new and stay engaged throughout the session will help you get the most out of your time.
With over 20 years of teaching experience, Daniel brings a depth of knowledge that comes from working with a wide range of skill levels. His time spent windsurfing in Maui has shaped a teaching style that focuses on real progression, helping people build strong fundamentals that last beyond the session.
Lessons are kept small and personalised, allowing for clear communication and steady improvement. The focus is always on helping each person feel confident on the water while developing skills in a supportive and structured way.
No experience is required at all. The session is designed to introduce complete beginners to windsurfing in a clear and manageable way, starting with the basics before moving into the water.
If you do have some experience, the lesson will be adjusted so you can focus on improving technique rather than repeating beginner steps. The private format allows for this flexibility.
Yes, participants from the minimum age of 4 can take part. The teaching approach is adapted depending on age and ability, making it suitable for younger learners.
The calm water conditions also help create a more controlled environment, which is useful for building confidence early on.
You should bring swimwear, a towel, and sun protection such as sunscreen and a hat. Wearing something comfortable that you don’t mind getting wet is important.
It’s also a good idea to bring water to stay hydrated during the session, especially in warmer conditions.
The session is considered easy, but it does involve some physical effort, particularly when balancing and handling the sail. However, it’s paced so that you can build up gradually.
You don’t need a high level of fitness to take part, just a willingness to stay active and try new movements.
The lesson takes place in a sheltered marina area where conditions are calm and controlled. This helps reduce the challenge and allows you to focus on learning.
You’ll be guided carefully throughout, so you’re never left unsure about what to do next.
After the initial beach briefing, most of the session is spent on the water practising skills. The aim is to maximise your time actively learning and improving.
The instructor will keep you moving between short explanations and hands-on practice to make the most of the 2 hours.
