i'll be on vacation in Dennis and have a friend looking to learn windsurfing.
Where is a good, calm location to do this?

thanks!

Would it work in that bay behind (north) of the West Dennis beach windsurf area?

[outcast]

Yes...not bad....a little muck, a little zoo like ....but there's also alot of lakes/ponds around too....

[outcast]

...i should have said that Cliff Pond in Nickerson kind of ideal.

I hope you have been trained to teach windsurfing. The effective teaching process is neither intuitive nor obvious to windsurfers not formally taught by a trained instructor.

Agreed - trained instructor, yes.

That said, where would suggest is a good location for such a lesson

West Dennis beach is my favorite place to teach people to windsurf. I prefer low tide to teach on the main beach (south) side because it's shallow for a long way out and the water is relatively flat.

If it's high tide take them across the parking lot to the (north) bay. As outcast said the bottom is a little mucky and the beach can be a little crowded with families but it is still a good place to teach. (flat water)

If you don't normally wear booties you may want to consider them for yourself and your student. The crabs biting your bare toes gets pretty annoying.

Hope this helps.
