Welcome to the website of Central Pennsylvania's only windsurfing school, where you can have fun learning a new sport in Centre County, PA while supporting a worthy cause that you choose!
COVID-19 News: I'm delighted to be able to offer basic windsurfing instruction again. I'm fully vaccinated against COVID, and if you are too then please contact me about a lesson.

I don't accept money for lessons or rentals.

Instead, I accept as compensation CHECKS* made payable to one of about 36 worthy nonprofit organizations (both local and international). For a private  lesson of at least 3 hours I want a check of at least $100. (For two learners, the minimum donation is $150. For 3 or 4 people, it is $175.) I then send your check directly to the chosen organization. (For links to those organizations, mouse over "NONPROFITS?". If you have a favorite organization that's not on my list, talk to me.)

*If you're traveling, maybe carrying only plastic, we can go online and make the donation directly on the organization's web site, using PayPal or your credit card.

Gift Certificates!

Video!
I usually shoot some video and/or still photos during each lesson, and usually I post these in the blog. Although video feedback showing your mistakes can be a valuable learning tool, I generally show only the parts where you are sailing right. So after your lesson (usually within a week), you may be able to see yourself performing right here on this website. (Of course, this is only with your permission.)

While you're here, why not check out my blog, which will usually have recent windsurfing activity here at Sayers Lake and elsewhere.
