Dean teaches us some easy beginner level Windsurfing skills in a 20 minute video, demonstrating and explaining how to start sailing. Many tips & tricks cover safely, simply rehearsing the steps of correctly balancing, standing up, scanning for hazards, raising sail from water to neutral sailing position, stopping, basic maneuvering and "tack turns", finally "sheeting in". If you are struggling, my many tips help you get sailing better fast. Great for review for anytime.

I love how Dean goes through all the terminology of windsurfing and sailing. After watching this I now feel like I can safely manage a sail board including the mast, uphaul lines, sail, inhaul adjustment and inhaul boom ends. Going over the correct sailing position was also very helpful. Can't wait 'til summer!
