How Exmouth watersports strives to get you windsurfing at 35 knots - faster than a seagull
The road to 35 knots was one that we all loved. Giles, Steve, Toby and Andy all agree that we wish we could forget how to windsurf so that we coud learn it all over again. For us learning to windsurf was and is that much fun.
We are blessed with the estuary , it's a great place to learn and develop your skills as you progress from 1 knot to 35 knots plus.
Here are the key stages that we teach.
Lesson 1 Learn to turn the board around and sail along in a straight line - secure position to stand in.
Then lesson 2 Learn to sail upwind and downwind - working a triangular course
Lesson 3 Let's get you around the triangle quickly, time to rail and fast tack.
Lesson 4 Why uphaul a sail? When you can beach start and let's improve railing the board upwind.
Lesson 5 Harness and footstraps plus really good flare gybes
Lesson 6 Driving your board fast, faster and well really fast, water starts.
Lesson 7 waterstarts, fast flat board and carve gybes
Lesson 8 Carve gybes and duck gybes
Jump, wave ride, blast along, back loop and forward loop...... but all that is another story
