Service Description

Windsurf Taster Session – Youths & Adult 09.30 to 13.00 or 13.30 to 16.30 Get a feel for some basic Windsurfing control drills even before you get wet on a full beginner course. Learn about the equipment, wind awareness, standing up and raising the sail safely, position the board ready to sail, get into the Sailing Position and control power, learn the basic turn, learn how to steer. Session Framework These are a series of practical exercises using a board and sailing rig under instruction whilst on the land. There'll be a group of people taking it in turns to practice the drills, therefore the number of drills practiced will depend on the number of participants. The drills cover the skills you'd use on the water to sail across the wind (towards 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock) , turnaround and sail back in the opposite direction. Taking It Further - To put these skills into practice on a windsurf board on the water plus learn how to sail in different directions and turn with power in the sail - sign up to an RYA Start Windsurf Course.
