Windsurfers- Beginner becoming Intermediates!

[@GLOCKDPLUSFlowriders]

I wish I had an instructor like you when I was learning all those years ago in England. It would have saved me hours and hours of struggling.

[@Cookiesports]

It’s not too late to have an instructor like me now! I coach all levels now. Contact details in the description if you are coming to Vassiliki .

❤ Thank you again for these wonderful videos ❤ I have plateaued at beginner status for a few years now but thanks to you and these videos, I am learning and having the time of my life, enjoying higher winds and not getting catapulted. I have kicked up the dagger board and playing around, especially in higher winds and intuitively feeling things out but never really understood the direct cause and effect of what I was doing. But this video did it for me. Similarly, there are a handful of others videos you made that I really love ❤️ like one on foot pressure or your disco gybe. You have built my confidence and i am enjoying windsurfing. From New York, Long Island. Thank you so much. 😊

I started windsurfing 6 weeks ago on a Beach Tahe Board 185 l with a 5m2 sail (Nova). I chosse this sail for my 80 kg weight. I live close to the beach in the north of Britany in France. It is a nice place to sailing but with a lot of streams and sometimes very windy. I try to windsurf 1 h each day. In light winds I train footwork, jibes, tacks, helitacks and beachstart. But I have problems to get to planning and to control the board. In strong winds (over 20 knts) the board doesnt accelerate and even in lighter winds 15-20 knts I have the impression that the board is too heavy and can't follow the wind and I have to work hard to hold the wishbone. Should I put back the mastfood? Or perhaps lower the wishbone? (normally it is shoulderhigh) but in strong gusts (from 20-25 knts) I feel overpowered and I cannot stabilize the sail. Do you have some trainingadvices how to handle strong wind on a big board?

Good on you! Try this one…(but there are a few other in the channel you’ll find helpful) How to get from "OK" to "GREAT" with your windsurfing skills! #insta360 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5e3ZmuugJumiMk

love this, will you do ski videos this winter?❤️

[@Cookiesports]

That’s the plan!

Hi Cookie, any chance you are still going to be in Vassiliki in early October? Is there anything open in general at that time? I would be interested in a clinic and also in buying some equipment from there.

[@Cookiesports]

Drop me a message and I can let you know about equipment I have available for sale. We close on the 8th of October. Hope to see you here soon.

[@roothik]

@@Cookiesports Ok, thanks for the info! Will see if I can make it and message you.

Do you expect some more wind soon ? There was 7 days in a row zero wind , I came all away down from Holland with my campervan to enjoy vassiliki. Seems like a waste of my Holliday 😢

[@fonsvandenhove]

Hi Daveknops9704, which route did you take to get there? My starting point is very much different from Holland, but still interested in the last 1000km. Sorry to read about the wind :/

[@MrSquinker]

behoorlijk stukkie rijden...lijkt mij ook wel wat

[@daveknops9704]

@@fonsvandenhove I took the route along the coast line from Italy through croatia, montenegro, albanie the journey was amazing. I took my time to get here . Didn't pay any toll either.

[@comet315]

Vassiliki is quite overrated. If you want good wind, head to Lemnos, Kos, Karpathos. Paros,Naxos.....

[@chrislearnswindsurfing]

What @comet315 says.. if you are in a camper.. can't you leave and look for more winds.

How to pump, please 🙏
