Windsurfing Lessons On Kauai-Anini Beach-Hawaii
Now that summer is right around the corner, and the winter swells have left, how about trying your hand at windsurfing on Kauai. Anini Beach is the perfect spot to learn. The generally calm, safe waters of the lagoon allows for smooth sailing. Summer winds blow onshore with enough strength to catch the sail and lift you right out of the water.
Windsurf Kauai offers both Beginner I and Beginner II windsurfing lessons. It is a family owned and operated business with instructors that will have you learning to sail in one lesson. Group lessons are limited to no more than six people per class to ensure individual attention. All classes are 2 hours and include all required equipment, as well as individualized instruction. Classes are at 10:00 and 1:00 daily, Monday through Friday.
I could find only three reviews for Windsurf Kauai on Yelp.com but they were all five stars. Here are two of them:
“My three sisters and I had a great experience. Celeste was a great teacher, and we enjoyed windsurfing more than we thought we would. This was one of our favorite activities on Kauai. You’ll look “really cool” while doing this, but watch out for “speed bumps”-oops- I mean snorkelers. They were everywhere and clueless about getting out of the way. Regan E. Twin Falls, ID
“Celeste taught my 9 year old son how to windsurf! He was up right away and windsurfed for about an hour and a half without falling. Celeste was very thorough and completely hands-on. They went over some information and techniques on land; when they got in the water, she stayed with him and gave him helpful tips throughout. Anini is perfect for windsurfing and seeing sea turtles…We definitely recommend Celeste and hope to windsurf with her again.” Audrey L. Los Angeles, CA
