South Padre Island Windsurfing
Tips
Although it is best to follow the instruction of
your guide or teacher as they can provide more direct and
specific individualized attention, we have included a few
tips to help maximize your windsurfing
experience:
1.
Morning is the best time to go. Since the winds are often
weaker at this time, it makes for better sailing and
practicing if you are a beginner.
2.
Watch videos to reduce your learning
curve.
Watching videos will help make some instruction make more
since and is great for helping to learn how to
jibe.
3.
Get rid of drag to gain speed. You will try to balance
the sail’s size by making it not too full resulting in more
drag, but not too weak as it will result in less
power. Remember
more power + less drag= maximum
speed.
4.
Larger boards are more forgiving. If you are just starting
out, consider starting with a larger board. This will make it easier
to learn and practice with and be forgiving of your
errors.
With these tips, you are sure to be fast on your
way to become a pro in no time. However, even if you don’t
become a pro, the experience of simply trying out something
new will make it well worth your time and give you some good
memories for years to come.
