[@salsamancer]

Thanks for making this video available!!☺️

[@Hondeer]

Have sailed yachts for 23 years, just took up surfing about 4 years ago now and flew stunt kites for 22 years. Just snagged an old Bic Electric Rock in excellent condition to start. Thank you great instruction! Helped with tacking upwind a lot. Greetings from Pacific Coast, Oregon.

[@islahardy2414]

Thank you! I have your DVD somewhere, my board is getting dug out of the shed this summer now I've found this! :-)

[@thibaultquelavoine5811]

Simply amazing ! I've been windsurfing for a few years now but it sometimes still is good to go back over some basics ! 10/10 would recommend this to anyone looking to get into the sport. Thank you for sharing !

[@jemhallcoach]

thanks for the great feedback, enjoy your WSing :)

[@bigfefu]

amazing video!!! the vademecum of windsurf! thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@magnoliapin2122]

I hope you all have a nice day! thank you for teaching me how to windsurf

[@frankieforrest2483]

That’s cool but who asked

[@frankieforrest2483]

me is potato I don’t care you’re just bragging that your 11 and know how to do all that

[@mousikantis]

The best tutorial, thank you

[@nelsonenaccion4x424]

Outstanding

[@sadunvurgun1864]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@razdog9977]

Very nice tutorial :) Thank you

[@Hondeer]

Thank you for this! Self-Teaching here at our local reservoirs and had a good few sessions in very light wind until last night and got wholloped in 12knt constant, 18knt gusts. Now I know why. Love this sport! :) Edit looking back a year later: lol @ 12knots. Now its 28knots and a 7.3 that's nerve wracking.

[@tetkinsin]

how did that selfteaching went ? im planing to do that myself...

[@Hondeer]

@@tetkinsin It was rough. A lot of frustration as with anything of this nature. There are definite 'levels' that you'll hit as you work through it. I am also a older learner so you may go quicker than I did.

[@wildandbarefoot]

If your learning to windsurf, BEGINNER TO WINNER is THE best investment you will ever make. I learned JUST off this video. It's very comprehensive, and about three hours long, and will save you many many headaches.

[@jemhallcoach]

thanks mate :)

[@erkaltarm2872]

Thanks for everting. I'll begin the windsurf next week and I'll keep my mind this information. 👍

[@olivei2484]

How'd it go? First attempt this week (before I get too old) !

[@spacewebb]

Great thanks , awesome tuition, looking forward to my first trip

[@jemhallcoach]

excited for you :)

[@marcocifani2928]

Video molto utile, grazie !!

[@arie1293]

This is fantastic for beginners (me 😅)! Thank you!

[@jemhallcoach]

my pleasure and thanks for the kind words :)

[@thingsofme]

Great Video, only someone that loves windsurfing could share all this detail of knoledge, thanks!

[@charlesarcher9626]

Fantastic learning here .well done and really enjoyed this movie..thanks

[@jemhallcoach]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@carlbrand781]

What a great video , thanks for the effort 👌

[@jemhallcoach]

Glad you liked it!

[@deckearns]

I bought 'beginner to winner' some time ago. it's a really great resource. it majorly helped me learn to water start and improved my stance when blasting. it made some difference. I'd recommend it to anybody.

[@jemhallcoach]

thanks Declan :)

[@DaveZaniboni]

Thanks for the tutorial! It helped me notice some mistakes I was making my first time out. 🏄

[@jemhallcoach]

Great to hear!

[@djkempo4]

Awesome tutorial..! Have just acquired a board after being 'surfless' for 20yrs. Great refresher. Clear & precise instructions. Thankyou

[@jemhallcoach]

great news mate, welcome back :)

[@sotirissalloumis6129]

Thanks for sharing, very informational.

[@jemhallcoach]

Glad it was helpful!

[@victoriarobertson9055]

I just started windsurfing a few weeks back and this helped soooo much!!! Honesty my teacher isn’t the best at explaining so this vids great 👍 I’m ten btw

[@jemhallcoach]

wow, well done for starting and keep at it and I am so glad it helped!! :)

[@johankruse4070]

"You Will be very acquainted with this" (pulling up the sail). Yup, sounds about right according to My experience 😂

[@csud9540]

Touché 😬

[@nzfreehumantybradley4589]

thank you just been given one I can't wait for some wind

[@jemhallcoach]

Hoorah .. enjoy our great sport mate :)

[@a020461a]

спасибо!

[@rajeshwaran2516]

Good குட்

[@noohohno]

Thanks! Quality instructional video. 30 seasons of windsurfing, but still find the video useful. Especially the "top tips". With the years and experience you tend to windsurf by "instinct, feel" v. thought. At times it's hard to explain the hows and whys to a newbie. Sent the video link to a friend who is just starting. Where did you film the on water sections of the video?

[@jemhallcoach]

Awesome, thank you!

[@samj2000]

great video, thank you very much for spending the time to make it. i have subscribed and liked it :) my only comment on some of your other videos, please talk slower and clearly like you do in this video, but again thank you great video

[@silviettobertoli-fg8kt]

Bello

[@sinemkurtural6814]

[@jeffpittel6926]

Always wear beach shoes, as you don't want to step on broken bottles or rusted cans. With todays boards being as wide as they are, it's MUCH easier to learn windsurfing.

[@minemade9390]

hi i am kinda new at this and i am using a string lika a boom because i dont have a boom it works but i cant stop or get it out of the water when i fal

[@minemade9390]

any idea how i could fix this? the booms are really expensive i dont have that kinda money my sail size is 4.5

[@DeadV0rt3x]

Minemade try finding a rope to tie to the mast and use it as an uphaul line

[@randyschwartz7498]

Ah man I tried it today and I spent 1 hr trying to lift it from the water and keeping it there, after 3 hrs couldnt sail.

[@GenjiFox]

so i bouth my own rig so the battens supposed to be touching the mast but my question is how much? some say 1/2 the other 1/3

[@AlessandroGiusti-yw8pi]

Ho smesso quando attaccavo a anda benino

[@wildandbarefoot]

If your an absolute Beginner windsurfing and are looking at buying a Board... if you can't get advice... look at RigGeek.com. There is a direct relation of body-weight to Board size to rig and fin size and the liters volume of the board. There is a windsurfing gear calculator in RigGeek.com that is free and Priceless. It will save you a fortune. That's if you can't get along to Gem Halls workshops. ( he's the best IMHO) We all want our sport to grow again,. Share and Enjoy.

[@Oblivianos]

foot position is so different to what my instructor says. what gives?

[@obi-wankenobi3480]

you can give plann,ng tacticks

[@wordreet]

Great vid! I'd just like to add that the dude messing about in icy water is not wearing a wetsuit, he's wearing a drysuit, sometimes called a steamer. It seals against your skin at the neck, wrists and ankles, keeping water out completely.

[@ryansmithphotography9383]

wordreet its definitely a wetsuit, just with a hood, gloves and wetboots for added cold protection.

[@alexanderkamurzaev8256]

Will anyone translate this to Russian?

[@jemhallcoach]

no sir, sorry

[@playerone1431]

Really bad idea to use knees on this anti sleepy surface.. After 5 days of intense newbie training you'll scratch your knees completely. My own experience. So train stretching and use feet straight away to stand up instead of knees.

[@inchskater]

Pavlo Mishyn thanks for the tip!

[@nickswampah3272]

I agree. Your next board will scratch your knees. So pull up and land on your bottom. Then stand on your feet.

[@trexinvert]

Great point. Any beginning windsurfing video or instruction needs to "remember" one thing. STANDING on the board is a skill in itself for anyone who has never surfed, waterski, skateboards,...etc. Also, when you have wind you have CHOP. Yes, the water is going up/down. Why not start from basic. How to STAND on the board and not fall off. Don't be in a rush to grab the line. Also, if you feel like falling just drop that damn sail. Start again. That's part of learning and building strength.

[@saskia959]

@@trexinvert Absolute my experience! Where I live water is choppy most of the time if not quite wavy. Very tricky to just stand on a board that is not 200 litres.

[@yakov1943]

Great video, but sound very loud and it's difficult to understand your's voice, I'm a foreigner and couldn't follow comments.

[@jemhallcoach]

thanks for the feedback .. it will all make sense as you watch it more and make some notes and think and reflect on what you are watching :)

[@fzuurveld]

in that case follow a course english for begginers first :-)

[@olivei2484]

Suggest turn on close caption, then you can pause to read at your speed. Helpful in windy conditions.
