Sailing on a river, a fins throw wide, surrounded by trees,
meant that it was gusty, tricky and you had to turn all the time!
Dee encouraged everyone to experiment and expressed how,
“This move leads on to this” or, “A hip movement in one move
was the same as in another.” Without realizing, it was Skills
Training in the making. Most importantly, you learnt quickly
and how not to fall in too much – which was a good thing
considering the water quality of the Thames!
I believe our progress comes from developing the
interconnecting and often counter-intuitive actions that
train us and help link simple and advanced skills or
moves together – especially if you’re tight with ‘time on
the water’. Windwise Skills Training is designed to
coerce the body to make ‘windsurf-positive’ actions,
improve our counterbalance and master all manner of
turning and board control – but most importantly have a
great time doing it!
