650-965-7474 10 www.shorelinelake.com Shoreline Aquatic Center – 2009 SILICON SHORES CORPORATION Private Lessons

While Shoreline offers a range of classes in a variety of water sports, we understand that there sometimes comes a time when you need one-on-one training with an expert, or maybe you have a scheduling conflict and can’t make it to one of our group lessons on the weekend. Whatever the reason, private lessons with one of our certified staff might be just the answer for you. One instance where a private lesson might be the perfect option is when you’ve completed the courses or sailed previously, and are looking to refine technique on a windsurfer or sailboat. Another case might be when you wish to have an event at Shoreline and host a group lesson with an expert.

Pricing, Scheduling, and Logistics:

Private Lessons Semi-Private Lessons

$50/hour for the first person $50/hour for one person $25/hour for each additional person. (Up to 3 people total)

Private tuition with Shoreline is flexible and very reasonable. For a group of more than 3 people contact the Boathouse to get a quote on lessons and to tailor a class to your specific needs. It is a good idea to give the Boathouse at least a week’s notice to guarantee instructor and equipment availability. Please note: Ideally, private lessons are geared towards more advanced enthusiasts who already have considerable experience in their chosen water sport, after taking a group lesson or through independent experience. While we may be able to schedule a beginner level private lesson if extenuating circumstances exist, private lessons should not be viewed as a true alternative to the introductory classes. We will not sell an hour-long introductory private lesson, as such a short lesson tends to breed frustration rather than a love of the sport.

Racing

You’ve done the training, now walk the walk. Racing at Shoreline is a fun, no-pressure experience. Whether you’re a relative newcomer to the racing scene, or a seasoned veteran wanting a way back in, Shoreline’s race circuit has something awesome to offer you.
