What Is Windwise flat water wave riding?
This Windwise Skills Training exercise is done‘ out‘ of the harness on any board, anywhere in any wind – so no excuses? Essentially it’ s using our look, lean( in Warrior) lever mantra, to turn your board pretty much completely into wind, then massively downwind( and beyond) forming a hugely exaggerated 300 + degree twisting,‘ snaking’ run. It’ s packed full of vision, opposition, core touch points and includes our‘ Warrior ethos’ that proliferates throughout the sport whenever we’ re turning a board.
This cannot be for‘ me’… why should‘ I do it?’
Whether you’ re a total beginner, fast or slow improver, plateaued intermediate or“ I don’ t need coaching” advanced sailor, this Windwise Skills Training exercise is pure gold and part of your turning DNA! When you truly focus on the core principles and feel the touch points, it’ s an entertaining and rewarding exercise. It might have you, and onlookers, asking what on earth are you doing, but, we guarantee it will do wonders for your counter balance, steering, fast tacks, helitacks, all gybes, all 360s, wave riding and it will teach you how to fall in less! In fact, we’ d go as far as to say that this Windwise exercise stands out as one of the most important exercises you can and should do on a board – BUT do focus on the highlighted skills, touch points, and make sure you accentuate your Warrior!
Windwise Warrior flat water wave riding = one exercise, many applications. Pure progression!
