If you’re interested in downwinders or have been doing them for a while, this Sunday’s clinic will give you a head start. Clinics are scheduled on the Saturdays with no Kanaka Ikaika race. They will start at 7:30am and go for 2-3 hours. The format will include instruction and individual coaching along with the opportunity to try various race boards. Location will be at Maunalua Bay in Hawaii Kai. A flyer with details and pricing is available and Wet Feet. To sign up or for more information call Wet Feet our clinic support shop at 373-SURF.
Thanks for posting this Evan. We have a couple more clinics after this one and will be doing a community service event on June 27. More information is at http://www.suphawaii.org

Jeff – I think your clinic is one of the best ways to start downwinders and SUP in general. I hope people take advantage of it.
