2nd April was my 1st day of windsurfing, morning it was a storming day a sudden south west wind blowing.
Compared to kayaking and windsurf, i would say windsurfing is much more technic then kayaking. I was kept falling all times haha, until later part of lesson then i managed to move the board foward for a few sec, but cant do turning. Once i started turned the mask, i would falled into the sea again. that would make me more treasure my skills now.
Windsurf it look quite simple to hands on, but to me slow learner really take time to pick up and hands on.
windsurfing 2nd day (Final Day) _______________________
3rd april was my final day of wind surfing course, I was reached the ECSSC abt 1320 hrs. Most of them were reached the club quite early, it was scatted around. A coupled of them went to swim at the sea front and some waited at outside the office. One of our coursemate was a little bad mood, so almost affected my mood also, Luckly i can adjusted my own self mood.
The lesson was started a bit early due to we came early to the class rm, and we today leared how to do a tagging ( Short sharp turn) also riding ( a more effective turning on the move). The rest of the lesson was recaped yesterday all the wind surf movment.
I was slightly improved then yesterday, can surf better but cant turning well.But still keep falling, I think i need to improve one movement at a time. Because wind surf is more sensitive then kayaking.
Today wind is not regular, once a while strong and changed direction. An incident was happen in the afternoon, one of my coursemate was badly drifted to BK Jetty. The power boat was unavail to located her, until a kind hearted rescue boat frm fisherman sended her back. Due to her drifting, we was unable to continue our lesson, because of safety reason. We was enjoyed in the water just for a moment, until the instrucion given us to continue.
When we started to praticing again, the time is almost up. Haiz.. my goal has gone.., because my windsurf still falling, due to left not much time.
After that we keep everything, the staff there was very kind hearted. Helping us to washed up the board and the mask, and we helped to put them back into the respective places.
Finally we got our wind surf cert, but its a very unit small card. After that i went to dinner with my course mate, some were went back home. But that does not mean that we are certified level 1 windsurfer. But the coach was told us that L2 wind surf course is very ez to fail one, he adviced us if we not confident he suggested us try to master the windsurf before we go on L2 wind surf.
Conclusion: WindSurfing: Is a very sensitive skills, every movement of mask, board and body (Hand and Footplacing) will make us fail to surf and falled. The body profile is much more higher the Kayaking and also much more higher gravites.
Well ! i am a much more slow learner then the other, so need to have more pratice make prefect.
Beside that it also enriched my coaching etics, i learned frm by my wind surf Trainer of his professional and patient towards the slow learner like me. As well as how to work well with he and his own partner.
Jia u..., one day I will make it as prof as kayaking.
Thats was reminds me when i was learned askimo roll, during my Sea proficiency kayaking course, my advance skill took a long time to master too.
Abt the wind surfing trainer, he was very patient, although some of us took quite a while to bring up the mask. Its a good example for me to learned his coaching etics also, he the dont matter how still tok to student very soft and professional.
Conclusion: Patient to student is still a Solution, but angry may get things worse and not done.
