To anyone who is new to Windsurfing, wear a compass and take reading of where your land is before sailing. I and another guy rented windsurf boards back in 2003 at South Padra on the Gulf and went out not paying attention ending up way out at sea before we realized it about an hour before sun set. We found a Bouye climbed up on it and still couldn't see land but decided to follow the Bouyes hopefully back to land. As it got dark, we started seeing some small sparkles of light miles away and out of pure luck we landed back on the beach we started, that was a real shocker, we were thankful. We took the Windsurf boards back to the rental place and they had closed up shop. If we hadn't got lucky and found our way back, I don't know when anyone would've searched for us out there.

I just started, its gr8

Perfect thanks

Holding the Mast is wrong the foot that is in front the same hand of in front you grab the boom not the mast I learnt from a proper wind surf in structure who thought wind surf for 5 years

I know one olympian who won Olympic Gold at this sport (Lee Lai-shan 1996 Team British Hong Kong)

Not bad at all.

Thank you! Love the soothing music and voice, now I can congrads myself of officially having the first windsurfing lesson!

Nice ...

Every time I stand up to raise the sail using the uphaul, the board will wobble and shake and I will fall. It was quite frustrating yet this video shows her doing it smoothly!

It’s a centerboard, not a daggerboard. Daggerboards go up & down. Centerboards swing up & down.

Many thanks, great reminder as I am going to start windsurfing again after many years. Will do a refresher course today but wanted to remind myself of the basics.

Very helpful! Today I will probably try windsurfing again after 2 years and this video made me remember almost everything I knew. Thank you!👍

Great video, thanks!

Confused from watching too many wind sailing videos

Please, turn on subtitles 🙏

Thank you so much!

Im just gonna say Thank you For Your Tutorial Im Happy For ayou

one of the best experiences I have ever lived when I was young.... sailing on windsurf is unforgettable !!!!!

Your voice is so smooth you should do some asmr videos

nice vid, when you tack or gybe, do you use your feet to rotate the board?

thank you so much

amazing training video.
Thank you!

super cool

You are talking to a million people audience. But man, that slow talking tip is only good, when you are in a huge building. In this video, you definitely had a hypnotic effect on me. I stopped thinking, is that good?

Great Thanks

Is core strength, leg strength or both the most important for successfully learning to sailboard? I want to train this winter so I can learn this summer.

thanks for an awesome video. I will give it a try soon

Last week I bought a beginner windsurfer. Today I made my first practices using what I learned here. At 75 I thought i needed a new challenge. I was able to get the mast up from the water and at times sail a few feet. Sometimes I was able to stop and get of gracefully and other times a big splash. I was also able to climb on in water depth at my armpits. Long way to go. Looking now to compare what’s I was doing to the videos. Awesome! Thank you. Andrew

Hello,
I am 60, I have started to learn alone with the help of your videos on an old 11' long 150l F2 board from the '90s and a matching 6m² Tiga/Neil Pryde sail. I like it and I am not going to change because this is the board I have and I don't have more budget. I recognise that it is not stable and I have to be careful where I put my 67kg weight. I have been sailing for 50 years but never on a windsurfer. I have been out 4 times and I am making good progress. Do you know any good online teaching videos from the ¯90?

thanks!

Well made content!

Can a windsurfer double as a paddleboard? I want both but- you know, $$$$.

Vielen Dank für die auf Erklärungen

i love this video....extremely super....thank you.does windsurfing is basic for sailing a yacht?

Εξαιρετικο!exellent

Went with a buddy recently, I knew nothing, he's a novice?, so not much accomplished that day . . .
Got myself a board now, going 2nd time tomorrow, after studying this clear and simple video.
I'm already more confident just with the info you've provided, thanks!
- Wish me luck!!

PS I started sailing a 22' sailboat, single handed, about 6 years ago, plus kayaking, (and cold water swimming, awesome!!)
enjoy the water guys : )

Thanks Phil , I love all your videos. It's really clear and comprehensive also for people that not speak a fluent english. I'm starting windsurfing and I have build your in home simulator. It's really useful and amazing for learn the positions and manouvers. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowlage
