MINIMUM WINDSURFING SKILLS NEEDED:

You need to be able to ride up wind in the harness on the board without a dagger and make beach start. Ideal if you have experienced planning already, if not than very soon you will.
Eventprice only: 600.-€, max. 10 participants/min. 4.

BOARDS AND EXTRAS:

You should reserve a board that you feel comfortable with in terms of the volume. The choice is between: Geko, Skate of Freewave. We might end up using various other boards like Viper or SUP, depending on the content of the class or conditions. Harness lines are the most essential factor of your comfort and you must have them long. Still using short lines? Soon you’ll say “Good Bye” to them. Ideal if you bring your own lines. Sizes between 30” – 36”. You can contact Kuba directly if you need any assistance in terms of your choice.

TRAINING:

Trim your gear accordingly to the conditions and set it up properly – that’s the first thing you are going to learn. If your tool is working fine, you have much bigger chances to do the job!
Comfortable sailing position and efficient up-wind ridding comes next. The essentials are: Stance – light and free, Sail – light and powerful, Board – light and maneuverable
Once you fully understand those principals and can apply them in your riding, getting in the footstraps shouldn`t be a problem.
Waterstart is an essential skill that sooner or later you will have to work on. Good thing is that by now you are ready for it.
Next step is blasting! Control your speed and learn how to go fast.
If you got to this point it means that carve jibe is within your reach. Let`s do it!
Coaching will be held on the beach (discussions, simulations, video analysis and sail exercises), on the water (sailing together, demonstration, filming from the water)
Daily subject will vary depending on the conditions. We might end up doing jibes, tacks or light wind freestyle moves in the lagoon, wind SUP riding on baby waves , SUP or surf in case of no wind.

10.00 – training on the water/beach
