Want to Teach Windsurfing on Long Island? Get Certified!

Not certifiable, as several of my regular readers are (okay fine me for the third-rate cliche attempt at humor) but Certified!   Let's try again:

Want to spread the windsurfing love?  Become a US Sailing Certified Windsurfing Instructor.   The Oyster Bay Waterfront Center is hosting a Level I instructor course June 11-14th with trainer Ned Crossley.   Ned will also be giving the course June 18-21st at the American Yacht Club in Rye, New York.   For details check out:

More certified instructors should only help grow and promote our sport on Long Island, so you think you have what it takes, sign up.

    Thanks Mike for the plug. Lots of community and yacht club sailing programs could use a windsurfing instructor for privates and group lessons. A certified windsurfing instructor could create a program at their repective yacht clubs. With Nevin Sayre’s BIC Techno 293 program, it’s a great addition to a Yacht Club’s menu for junior and adult sailors. Let all grow a windsurfer.

    Yes! My teaching success rate went up 1000% after I took the instructor certification course. It’s worth every penny.

    Ned Crossley is one the most generous windsurfers I’ve ever met. He’s spent more time with me, for free, in working on my skills. He’s one of the best windsurfers on the Hudson. Anybody who takes this course will be in good hands with Ned. I wish I could.
