MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS

Daniel Oliver

Head Instructor

Hana Bee

Instructor

Beginner Lesson - Level 1

Dan taught me how to windsurf a few years ago and pretty soon got me the opportunity to teach myself. He cares a lot about his students and is always following up with their progress and helping them out with gear. He is an amazing person and instructor who's also incredibly talented at windsurfing. You may frequently see Dan practicing something new even with no wind, that gives you a glimpse of his passion for this sport and community.

Beginner Lesson - Level 1

Dan is super enthusiastic about windsurfing and its infectious. He has a ton of experience and is a great teacher.

Beginner Lesson - Level 1

Dan is personable, knowledgeable, and passionate. He makes a hard and tiring learning process feel fun and enjoyable. He is always trying to improve himself in addition to helping others, and he makes even beginner windsurfers (like me) feel like collaborators in that process. Highly recommend!

Beginner Lesson - Level 1

I took lessons with Hana and Dan in Seattle and I would recommend them for anyone that is looking to start windsurfing. They are friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable about windsurfing

Beginner Lesson - Level 1

We have sailed with Dan in Seattle and the Gorge for the past 2 years. Dan is really motivated to continue learning and help advance his students. He is dialed in to the windsurfing community and is really enthusiastic.
