Water start
The waterstart is one of the most important windsurf skills youn have to master to progress to the next level.
We run this course when the conditions are right (side shore, flat water, 15+knots) Emphasis is put on practice though we will spend 20-30 minutes on the beach.
Harness
We will take you through everything you need to know to use a harness and make the most of it once you're on your board. Surfing with a harness will help you save lots of energy and make you more stable when surfing at high speed. With your harness on, your body becomes a leverage for the sail taking the extra weight off your arms.
Gliding and footstraps
Planing or gliding is when the board skims along the surface of the water. Actually, it kind of feels like flying. This is what will get you hooked on windsurfing. To get there, the use of an harness and footstraps is key!
