Try to use the laser! It's very simple and great!

You should have kept that Laser as well, and learn how to sail it. You have no idea what you are missing. Laser sailing is pretty close to windsurfing, it can be just as spectacular. You made a big mistake.

Aaron Agassi you are welcome. More videos on the way

@@brightmacsworld8353 nothing to do with windsurfing

I got my first setup yesterday. I just got back from my first session. Because of good youtube videos, I was able to stand, pull up my mast, and at the end was sailing a little. Time to review. They make it look so easy.😂

All this tells me is you’re a cretin.

I just went windsurfing again yesterday after 30 years. I took a lesson for safety’s sake. It all comes back to you. I was out there sailing back and forth in no time. Do it.

ditto. Thanks

Glad the video is helpful. Unfortunately there is only so much royalty free music available to us..........I don't suppose you fancy composing some for future videos ;)

My brother in Oz might record something for you. He's a very good folk guitarist. I'll ask him

good luck, enjoy!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Sounds like a bigger board would help with this

No. This video was done in a small protected bay or lake. Typical condition with wind there is "always" chop/waves in the water. Rare that you can just have wind with no waves. So, yes staying on the board on water rocking back/forth/up/down is part of the "actual conditions". Here's a few tips: a.) When you feel unstable then just "drop" that sail and grab the line again. b.) If you fall back "grab the mast and yank the sail towards you" to grab the wind and stop your fall. Do it quickly and release quickly. c.) If you fall forwards "grab the mast and push the sail down to the water". It will arrest your fall into the water. Do it quickly and release quickly.

Glad it was helpful!

+NorthWind You should probably get advice from your doctor.

GetWindsurfing windsurfing coaching understoooood. cheers"

As a beginner you will "fall" and "fall" and "fall". Many times it will be unpredictable and your body will jerk and twist in all different position. Falling on your fingers, arms, elbows, shoulders...it all depends on how agile you are. Lower back bad? Forget it. Only, advanced/intermediates with many years of sailing can just pop up and "cruise" without falling. You don't need a sailing coach you need a personal trainer to get your back into shape. There is hope. I have a bad back, myself....I know the pain. Keep on!!

cheers for the advice fellas.

I have a few problems with my back and I have been sailboarding for the past 3 years. learning with the uphaul rope was definitely harder, remember to lean backward and let your weight lift the sail up instead of pulling the sail up with your shoulders.. otherwise ask someone else to show you how to beachstart, when you do it properly, the wind lifts everything for you and it is pretty effortless. otherwise, once you are planning, there is not much back work. the harness holds it in position and you simply bend your knees and lean back to manoeuvre. try to find a light mast and boom.

Yes, absolutely. How did you know about this. One of the things instructors never mention, because they want you to "glide" into the turn like a freakin sailboat. Well a windsurf rig is not a sailboat and it can do more. So, you've figured it out. It's just logical. The sail blows/rather "cuts" into the wind and "stays in that position parallel to wind" then everything else moves around with it. Yes, sheeting in tack or gybe direction only bends the sail into the wind a little to fill the sail, but the sail never crosses the wind(unless you are intentionally setting up/flipping the sail for turning....and then it instantly whips back into the "cutting" position with wind). You can even do a 270 degree tack or jibe, just by brute forcing the board. Especially, if you need to do a quick reverse. Keep on...

Yes, absolutely when "beginning" due to falling down, getting back up, and just hanging onto the mast(until you learn to use the harness). It's the wind, it's the wave and the weight and sail power that you must learn to tame. Grip strength especially. For core it helps but "knowing" how to use both legs and back simultaneously to lean with power and quickness. However, once you get it you learn to use/grab the wind. I've seen older guys in 60's get out there

Thanks for the comment. The boom is in the correct position. It raises when put on the UJ. This moves the boom from armpit height off the board to shoulder height on the board. Danielle is the same height as Phil. Hope this helps explain. :)

I'm not an expert but I think there are different sizes, so if you have a small stature you get a small windsurf. No excuses, go do it :)

Viola Rose modern equipment is very light. Especially for beginners

GetWindsurfing windsurfing coaching thank you! I found a place to take classes and I hope trying out the equipment will help me figure out what works before investing 💕💕

During the learning process pulling, falling and getting up is "very taxing". Once, you get proficient it's not your arm, back that you need to worry it's your wrist. They will cramp and gloves won't help. Then you get a harness and efficient!!! You could be 70 yrs old and be able to windsurf if you know how.

@@trexinvert hey cool thx for the insight

Has positives and negatives. I get a lot of viewers who like me to speak slow as english is not their first language or they are not confident in it. However, for some more natural English speakers the narration may seem unnaturally slow / hypnotic. Hard to get the right balance, i'm working on it to sound more natural. Most important though is that the correct info is delivered in a simple and easy to understand way

Why do you think it is wrong? What part/section? Generally interested to hear your thoughts on this. I can appreciate you might do it differently but there are more that one way of learning that can be affective.

Constructive comment. About as useful as a chocolate teapot. Thanks.

@@GetWindsurfing well said🤣
