Like in any sport, learning windsurfing is not very easy. It requires the windsurfer to take systematic lessons in windsurfing & practice them regularly. However, for several enthusiasts it is not always possible to enroll for a windsurfing training school or go to a windsurfing spot to practice. To overcome these obstacles, a great way to learn windsurfing is through windsurfing DVDs. With a windsurfing DVD, you can easily learn every detail of windsurfing right at home.
Video Lessons
From basic lessons to the most advanced techniques, there are DVDs available for every step in windsurfing.
Windsurfing Fundamentals: A video by Peter Hart, Windsurfing Fundamentals explains in detail all the basic lessons of windsurfing. The video not just covers the different windsurfing movements but also harness and footstrap techniques that are so important for amateur windsurfers.
Beginner to Winner: Yet another resource to learn windsurfing, the Beginner to Winner by Jem Hall is a comprehensive guide on the sport - right from handling beginner boards to the most advanced moves. The DVD covers movements like Jumping, Duck Gybes and Heli Tacks from every angle so that the viewer can understand the even the intricacies of the movements.
Turn for the Better: A two-part series, both the DVDs cover advanced windsurfing maneuvers. In the first part, viewers can learn rigging, tuning, early planing, having a better stance, spin out prevention and waterstarting. The second part covers difficult gybes, tacks and jumping. Viewers can learn the most complex movements like carving jibes, duck jibes, slam jibes, carving shortboard tack, helicopter tack and nose sink tack. Yet again it is Peter Hart who has lent his expertise and provided guidance for all these techniques.
ABCs of Waterstarting: Viewers can now learn the art of waterstarting from the master of waterstarting himself, Dasher. With the help of this video, beginners can easily graduate from uphauling to waterstarting and master finest aspects of the technique. The video is not only a great learning resource but Dasher's unique style of presenting makes it even more interesting.
12 Step Jibe: Yet another video by Dasher, the 12 step Jibe video is an ultimate guide to learn planing jibes. The video provides a step-by-step analysis of every jibe that would especially help beginners in mastering difficult techniques.
Pro Secrets: A video that provides crucial tips on windsurf racing, it features the top ten windsurfers of the world. These champions share their secrets that would help aspiring racers to compete with the top windsurfers of the world and win against the toughest opponents. The video features Robby Naish, Antoine Albeau, Steve Allen, Finian Maynard, Jimmy Diaz, Phil McGain, Micah Buzianis, Wojtek Brzozowski, Sam Ireland and Kevin Pritchard. This video would help upcoming windsurfers to learn the tricks of the sport from those who rule it.
Wild Birds: Wild Birds provides a glimpse of the windsurfing scenario around the world. It covers the activities in windsurfing hubs like Holland, Belgium, Western Australia and Denmark.
