JUNIOR CLINIC: Intro to Water Start

Are you a junior tired of uphauling in waves? Think this windsurfing thing would be more fun without your constant hand-over-hand arm workout? Or maybe you just know that water starting will make you look very cool...

GOOD NEWS! This clinic is for you. Register now to learn to harness the power of the wind to get you upright and sailing with less effort. (If only you could waterstart to get out of bed every morning.)

You must register for this class. From the calendar view, click here to register (you must be logged in).

In this clinic you will learn the fundamentals:

• Set-up


• Clearing the sail


• Finding power in the sail


• Letting the sail pull you up


• Recovery


• Drills


• Conditions-based tips and tricks

If the wind is high enough, this clinic will include water practice. IF we have a Senior available for this class, this class will include a sailing field trip—the instructors and students will sail to Ashby Beach, where you can practice beach starts, the initial water start progression.
