Teenager learns to wing foil; mom sticks with windsurfing.

5.00My 19 year old took private lessons to learn to wing foil. The teachers are super nice and supportive. I was happy that they stayed out with him since it is an off shore wind. They even took some videos. I rented a windsurfer with them. I didn’t take lessons since I windsurfed a lot in the 1980s and 1990s. I stayed closer to shore since I know my limits in my 50s! It’s a bit gusty closer to shore they say due to hotels. Was better 30 years ago when there were fewer buildings! Watch out for reefs if you go further out. It is an offshore wind.
Great Place, Great Instructor!
