Windsurfing Parksville: Windsurf Lessons

Re: Windsurfing Lessons Specials[


Hi Guys/ Gals,

My name is Kevin Forsythe. I am an old school windsurfer from the original Windsurfer One Design Days. (I put myself through University running windsurfing schools and teaching thousands of students from 8 years old to 70 years young) (Also I competed at the national and provincial levels winning a gold medal in the BC Summer Games 91)

Last season I started Windsurfing Parksville with a trailer hauling it back and forth from the Beach each day. This Season I have built to permanent Windsurfing Shack on the Parksville Beach Resort Property.

For those of you that have not been to the main beach at Parksville is has been voted top ten in Canada. For learning how to windsurf it is prime. Water is warm, winds are predictable and on shore, shallow, and sanding. All requirements for an enjoyable learning experience.

This location with my new gear and on land simulator makes the learning curve so much easier than the old days. I will have you sailing in a few hours.

Find below Lesson Packages and Specials.
