This page will focus on resources and information for those interested in learning more about Windsurfing. If you have never windsurfed or are interested in getting back into windsurfing this is a great place to start.

The first thing to know about windsurfing is this sport is great fun. You will work hard and you will need to put in the “time on the water” but you will be rewarded with one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life. You will also discover that the windsurfing community is very welcoming and always happy to assist newbies take their first steps into this exciting new world.

You don’t need to purchase equipment to begin your journey. Take a few lessons first and work with your local experts to determine the best possible options.

One important fact: You can’t learn to windsurf via YouTube! The best way to start is to take a lesson. If you are in the Tampa Bay Area you have access to the #1 windsurfing shop in the USA, Northbeach Windsurfing. If you aren’t in our area and don’t know who to call, call Northbeach Windsurfing. Their knowledgeable staff will be happy to recommend great instruction programs around the USA. They are the #1 shop in the USA for a reason.
