Video Taping & Playback

One of the greatest tools ever invented for self teaching is the video camera, as it is ideal for trouble shooting and fine tuning your jibes and other difficult maneuvers.  Alan Cadiz and HST have utilized video playback since the school first opened in 1986. Using a tripod and 10X zoom lens, they can full frame you at 50 meters. After a few turns, come back to the beach and watch your jibes in slow motion and stop action on the video monitor right there on the sand. Then you can go back on the water for more taping.

Private Locations
HST instructors will come to you if are staying at one of the North shore beachfront homes, or other private sailing locations.  (Two hour minimum lesson time at our "on-location" rate of $70 per hour.)

Coast Runs
Sailing from Hookipa to Kanaha is a summertime rush! Like the endless ski run, it is all down hill. The record time from Hookipa to Kanaha is about 14 minutes, a very, very fast run. We take our time, sailing for about two and a half hours, and we often stop at coastal sailing spots along the way. Coast runs are for advanced sailors. You must be able to sail in a variety of conditions and make most of your jibes.
