This is a beginner level clinic for members who want to learn how to beach start or for those who need pointers on their technique. A short on land demo will be followed by on the water instruction.
Members should change and have a board and sail ready on the beach.
One of the most tiring part about windsurfing is uphauling the sail. It is especially difficult when the water is choppy, or the wind is high, or you are using an intermediate board and the board is more maneuverable but more tippy.
Rather than having to uphaul your sail every time you leave the shore, you can use the beachstart - an efficient and quick technique to get yourself up onto your board and get sailing with little effort.
Beachstarting is one of “Level 2” skills in our windsurfing fleet.
