Theoretical and practical course to approach windsurfing and learn a few basics.
In this beginners course you’ll learn: Sailing in various course directions with optimum body and rig-position, tack and jibe. The newcomer to windsurf can sail on his own after completing the course. Theoretical lessons, navigational regulations and safety rules plus the assembly of board and rig will be discussed. The course will be held in the morning, in light or middle wind conditions.
The course is intended for everybody who has passed the first couple of trials with the board and rig and would like to improve the manoeuvres. Focus is on the fast tack and jibe. Furthermore an introduction in the techniques of harness sailing and first attempts of the beachstart will also be taught. Course time: In the morning, during middle wind conditions. The aim of the course is safe sailing in middle wind conditions with progression to the funboard.
This course covers the techniques required for successful planing in higher wind. For this course we use the morning wind from the North or the South wind of the afternoon. Included in the course is how to footsteer the board and use the footstraps also how to sail the board without the daggerboard as well as the fast tack and the beachstart is stronger wind conditions, thus preparing you for the waterstart. From this point on, there are no limits to have fun on the water!
This course is the first of our afternoon sessions held during the stronger "ORA" wind. The type of boards used for this course are allround fundboards, featuring footstrap. This course focuses the waterstart, one of the most essential techniques required for succesfull highwind surfing, and also he beating techniques to go upwind with or without the daggerboard. When you have achieved a good level of competence with the waterstart practice will then be done in deaper water.
Having mastered the Waterstart, you can now start using smaller boards without daggerboards. The focus of this course is planing and the use of the footstraps. The training aids used for this course are the planing simulator, which allows us to try on land all the different movements required to enable the board to plane, including the theory of wheight distribution abd how and when to use the footstraps, and for when we are on the water, we use the Video Playback System in wich you are filmed on the water and then played back later where the feedback is given by the instrucotr in order for you to understand and thus improve.
