a beginner looking for some basic help..pointers

Post by warmwindynights »

I just decided to start windsurfing again and am banging away on my gear and not learning too much.
Can anyone recommend any books on windsurfing or people that give lessons this time of year in the Parksville area?

hi darrell, for a better response you might try a more specific question such as what step you are trying to learn and what skills you posess so far. as i recall you were sailing in low winds ok and trying waterstarts? one excellent resource is to go to the BWD links and under freestyle windsurfing there is a link to a series of instructional pdfs by "guy cribb" , they range from how to carry your stuff to fancy tricks. keep us posted how you are doing!

DVD's, windance and others have them, order them, watch them over and over again, your mind will absorb it all, the body will follow......if you get out that is 8) Get a warmer suit soon :twisted:
