Welcome our newest and youngest Windsurfer

Say Hi to Kassandra, my granddaughter. She is going to be our youngest new windsurfer. Kassandra is 6 yr. and will be 7 in June.
I will be teaching her to windsurf off my dock this summer. ( Expect big things and then again maybe not so big ). I taught both my children to windsurf and both have gone all over sailing with me. Bonaire is every ones favorite. Andrew especially took off with this sport. Although he is married with a kid now ( Thomas Oliver Wade ) Andrew has been to Aruba, Bonaire, Maui, Hatterass, Hood River, Floras Lake in Oregon, Florida and every ones favorite sailing sight Old Fed. and Van Pugh.

So now is the time to teach Kassandra and see where that goes. I may not be the best instructor in the area but at least it will be easier than learning the 21 steps of a jibe in Windsurfing Magazine ( which is how I learned ).

PeelSkid is at it again. Those who can't teach!

Oh no! I forgot the first rule of windsurfing, stand on the top of the board not the bottom. I think she was a bid confused. More to come....

Will you teach me too, it’s been awhile.

You’ve got the perfect tool to teach her to sail first.

Very true. Understanding the points of sail, sail trim etc is a big advantage once you get on Angel board. Good
