START WINDSURFING



Windsurfing is not difficult and does not require a lot of strength. It is a sport practiced ON the water, and not in the water. With some simple techniques, a modern lighweight rig (sail), a wide stable board like the Starboard Start,- some basic safety tips, and some practice,- you will find yourself really enjoying the sport already in your first hour on the water. We are pleased to introduce our friend Roger Jackson (Sailquik) to all our readers worldwide. Roger will help you as you start on the path to becoming a true windsurfer. He invites you to share your questions about learning the sport with him. His advice and guidance will help you to experience success quickly, and gain sense of personal achievment with that success.

"Dear Beginners,
We all have to start learning somewhere, somehow. Asking questions and receiving solid, helpful answers will lift you up the learning curve. There is no such thing as a "foolish" question. I am very happy to be here and share my knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with you. It is a wonderful sport. It will be my pleasure to help you get started."
Roger.
