We
have been considering adding this valuable video to our line-up and are
proud to say we've finally done it. This video is now here and in stock
in both NTSC and the European PAL format.
This is the elusive instructional video that fills the gap
between entry-level instruction and shortboard sailing. It fits nicely
between our Windsurfing 101 video and Peter Hart's Turn for the Better part 1.
In fact, it was filmed at the same time as the "Turn for the Better"
series and could even be considered the first part of a three part
series. While the first 10 minutes focus on the entry-level, the
remaining 40 minutes of instruction is done on tranition style
longboards or funboards with footstraps and retractable daggerboards in
the 10 to 12 foot range, in 10 to 18 knots of wind.
"Windsurfing
FUNdamentals" is the introductory video from the Royal Yachting
Association and is an important aid to both the newcomer and improving
windsurfer alike. Instructor Peter Hart is respected the world over for
both his ability on the water and his unique ability to analize and
convey windsurfing technique.
Some topics covered are skills
such as beach starts, higher wind trimming of both board and sail,
first use of harness and harness lines, getting into the footstraps,
sailing with and without the daggerboard, steering, railing, tacking,
and jibing. This is Peter Hart at his best.
