- At least 15 hours of windsurfing/wing experience, or
- Completed Windsure's beginner Windsurf/Wing Lessons.

Successful completion of the checkout will qualify you to use the appropriate fleet gear.

Registration

Select the registration option that matches skills and experience you currently have and gear you wish to access.

If you are an existing fleet member and want to move up a level, such as smaller boards and foils, please contact a fleet captain or the fleet director separately.

Orientation

The orientation will:

Show you where our windsurfing equipment is stored
Go over the windsurfing craft sign out procedure
How to properly transport the gear to and from the beach
How to report damage.

Please read the Rules, Procedures and Safety Precautions page ahead of time.

Skills checkout

The skills checkout will require you to demonstrate your ability to:

Launch, sail out, tack and sail your windsurfing board safely back to the beach,
Self rescue technique.

Demonstration is waived if you recently, successfully completed Windsure's Discover Windsurfing I & II or Discover Wing Surfing lessons.

Additional skills demonstration maybe required to access more advanced equipment than L1 boards (i.e. longboard fin boards).

Please wear your wetsuit (mandatory for windsurfing) to be ready to demonstrate your on-water skills.

At the discretion of the checkout leader the on-water test may be waived.
