Clinic Information

The windsurfing clinics are open to the public and taught by senior club members.

Participants must be at least 18 years old, and know how to swim.

Otherwise, no experience or special gear is necessary (except for booties or water shoes, and wetsuit during the colder months; see below).

Price: $80.

This price includes membership in the Cayuga Windsurfing Club, which gives you access to the club gear at East Shore Park when the shed is open for the 2024 sailing season.

Sign up for the clinic here.

If you are a Cornell student, you should also sign up via CampusGroups here.

WHAT TO BRING

• Swimsuit and towel

• Essential Footwear: water shoes, surf booties, shoes you don't mind using in the water (e.g., sneakers) or sandals with heel straps (no flip flops).

  • The club has about 15 booties of varying sizes for member use. This is enough for most but not all clinic participants, so please try to bring your own if you have any.

• Drinking water and/or snacks.

• If you need to wear glasses, be sure to have good croakies or something to secure them to your head or PFD.

• Wetsuits may be required or recommended depending on air and water temperature.

  • As a beginner you can expect to spend a lot of time in the water, so wetsuits are usually recommended, especially if you're someone who tends to get cold quickly.

  • The club has some wetsuits for member use, but not enough for every clinic participant.

  • Wetsuits and neoprene booties can be rented from Cornell Outdoor Education (COE); plan ahead, as their hours are sparse.
