Safety Bay, Swan River & Lancelin - It's great to be back in Perth!
PERTH WA DEC 2012
We're now well into our Freeride and Freewave courses here in Perth. I'm always very grateful for the wonderful welcome and hospitality. It's always a pleasure to have the opportunity to coach and meet so many keen and dedicated windsurfers who revel in the excellent conditions in and around this beautiful and often windy city!
We started with our 3 day course in Safety Bay with three excelent days, sailing until we couldn't hold on any longer every day. With a mix of skills and planing conditions, everyone sailed really well and learnt a lot. We then moved into the Swan River for our Melville Waters course (shifted to Pelican Point), where we had the some early morning Easterly winds and lighter afternoon winds for skills & drills. We spent nearly 5 hours on the water each day working through fast tacks, gybes, duck gybes and a whole range of key core skills that make all the difference. There were even some swithced stance duck gybes going on!
So I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who's joined the courses so far, we certainly covered a lot skills and made the most of the conditions and I look forward to seeing you again soon.
In fact, some of you are coming up to Lancelin for the next leg of our WA Tour!
More on that later....in the meantime, sheet in, look, lean and lever that rig through those corners!
Simon
