Product Description
A new, completely up-to-date entry level instructional windsurfing video, on DVD. Side-Off Video collaborated with Naish Hawaii in Kailua Bay to structure this video exactly like a hands-on lesson. Naish Hawaii is Hawaii's oldest windsurfing shop and their instructors have over 50 years of combined teaching experience. The instructors, Sean, Des, Bruno, Dieter, and Na'i, start off by discussing safety concerns, parts and different types of gear, and wind knowledge. Then they do a little dry land practice before heading out for three thorough on-the-water lessons. Their proven techniques will make you feel like you're right there getting personal instruction along the warm shores of Kailua Bay. Detailed instruction and tips on avoiding mistakes on up hauling, sheeting-in, balance, steering, tacking, jibing, and even beach starting make this a video you will want to watch over and over. Step-by-step instruction, slow motion, stop action, and helpful graphics will make learning fast, easy, and fun.

2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Windsurf Basics, By This review is from: Windsurfing 101 DVD (Misc.) This DVD is very basic. It shows the tack, jibe and water start.

I've even managed to sail and steer and turn around etc. This video is terrible because it not only has a long and pointless introductory section, but also because they tell you to sail while holding onto the mast while one foot is actually in front of it in some sort of "Warrior Stance" that is just ridiculous. It is so silly. Sure, you will set sail, but you won't be able to do much else in that stance. (I tried just to see.) I turned off the video and took it back to the library since even a newbie like me, could see that it was junk. I considered throwing it in the trash to spare any other new windsurfers from being exposed to such garbage, but decided I did not want to pay for the disc. Glad I did not come across this video first, before I learned some very basic stuff. I still...
