START WINDSURFING: Learn How To Windsurf | Basic First Steps

[@griffon-vulture]

Thank you! You reminded me my first attempts to control windsurfer 40 years ago. One note for people, looking this. At the moment 2:06, when the girl tries to klimb on the board from water, it is necessary to set the board and yourself so, that wind should blow to your back perpendicular to the board. Otherwise, novice would not have a success, but could be even harmed by mast. In the film you see right position according to wind direction, but author forgot to note that.

I had not been on a windsurf for almost 20years, and I wasn’t that good to begin with. Thanks to this video I was able to sail today.

REALLY GOOD windsurfing instructions! The best I've seen on KZbin. THANK YOU! Subscribed instantly. Can't wait to practice EVERYTHING shown today. SOOO GOOD! Best I've ever seen!

[@richardm9688]

Good beginner instruction for getting the basics of windsurfing. Thank you. The young boy at the end seemed to be really flying along. A great source of inspiration to improve!

[@HeidiBird]

About to take my first lesson today. I feel like this is a great introduction to watch beforehand. We'll see how I do later!

[@AnitaAranyos]

Super nice quality video, clear explanations! I teach windsurfing based on the same principles and explanation!

[@ldgnotebook]

Awesomeness lesson, can wait to practice on this lesson. Never seen the butterfly crawling back to the shore, my instructor skipped it. Thanks so much for the lesson.

I have 2 sets of windsurfing equipment in my house. I have done first 20 meters windsurfing.. And lookin for motivation to finally go 40 miles per hour at last :D

[@Togidubnus]

What's tacking? What's gybing? It would help to know what these are, it's not exactly self-evident (or have I missed something?).

[@coltoncycotte8681]

Tacking is turning into the wind, and gybing is turning away from the wind. Both cause the sail to switch sides.

[@trexinvert]

I know I hate "sailing terms". Even as an advanced windsurfer, I hated working a sailboat. On a boat you have to always "think" and choreograph a few actions. On a windsurfing boarding you can just rely on feel, balance and instincts. You move and correct without thinking a, b, c...etc. Here's an easy way to remember: a.) Tacking = Tilt the sail to the back of the board. What happens? You will turn to your "left" if you stand on the board "normal". Normal meaning left foot forwards. b.) Gybing = Tilt the sail forwards to the front of the board. What happens? You will turn to your "right". Now, Tacking is easier to maneuver for balance, but you will find yourself quickly losing speed and in "dead wind". Beginners don't know to "hold" and sail past this point in the turn. However, beginners should also learn how to Gybe. Awkward at first, but this allows you to go down wind and continue to ride. You will instinctively know when to stop turning and just go straight down wind. Enjoy...all

Great video, seems super difficult

[@essaMOVIE]

Great content ! Thanks for that 🎉🎉

[@josephlau8476]

I like windsurfing.

[@dianlao0079]

The subtitles often obscure the standing position and moving method of the feet, thank you for your hard work

[@cormacc7]

Thanks for sharing

[@crazyyoutuber2594]

Really good information.

[@wendyluchen1962]

Really good quality video, thanks all very clear!

[@isaiahgarcia8506]

Great video! I do not own a board or sail

[@iducatifan1]

Dude that thing is enormous; do you have to start on such a big one?

[@stayyoungandstrong.260]

how long will it take to start moving along in the sea you think

[@tommenr3928]

Okay but how do I use my legs to pull, or my back for that matter - I use my hands, and they are unfortunately attached to my back, kind of.

[@tandang6362]

I live in Australia. Please tell me where I can purchase this. Thanks

[@xvolokos]

My son is wanting to windsurf

[@avkonst]

Hi. I have bought iqfoil set for my daughter, but our set does not have fins and it does not have center fin box. Is the board from the videos modified iqfoil board?

[@StarboardWindsurfing]

Hi Andrey, yes the iQFOIL85 is available as SURFACE2AIR model, which comes with centre fin option, or also without, so that the board is lighter for higher performance racing. Both models are class legal. hope this answers your question. bests

[@matiasgibbs251]

Great video. Random question, does it make sense to carry a paddle from a SUP in case the wind drops to zero?

[@OnanTheMan]

It’s probably going to get in the way. You can always paddle back like a surfboard if you get in trouble

[@Prismalpink]

Sorry but the music is kinda distracting. Good tutorial though.

[@nevanevans]

I just got a windsurfing set up for free.. I already surf but now realize that might not help much haha

Spelling jibing like gybing seems wrong
