Plan the weekend accordingly
Firstly, it needs to be windy. We can’ t make it windy, but we can up our chances. I’ m not going to recommend moving house and uprooting the family simply for windsurfing, but beginning in a good location always helps! Secondly, it’ s wise to know when it’ s going to be windy, and this is the job of weather forecasting sites, such as Windguru. Everybody has multiple commitments, but if it’ s going to be blowing 30 knots on Saturday morning, work around it if you can. Plan the weekend accordingly. Should you be blessed with kids, it can be a nice family outing to the beach. Depending on their age, get them out with you on light wind days this way you may be forgiven when it does get windy and disappear. And have a back up plan. Stand up paddle boards these days are session savers if supplied with rig attachments. Light air riding shouldn’ t be sniffed at as it can help with developing skills as well as getting you afloat.
same boat the world wouldn’ t work and no windsurf boards would ever be made, so that’ s not possible... It does take a number of stars to align to allow a full power windsurf session. Some of these are controllable, others are not.
fitting short sessions
Of course, Sod’ s Law says that it’ ll actually be blowing on Wednesday afternoon. It’ s still possible to get an after work session in, depending on your work hours and daylight. Pack the car with your kit before work, and head on over straight after. It’ s easy not to commit but the skill is fitting short sessions in often( this I can totally agree with and recommend – ed). Rather than waiting for the perfect day, which can take months, head out whenever you have a spare couple of hours and the forecast is positive.
