Check out the amazing moves in this video of Laure Treboux in Dahab.

I went to her website and found this is only her third season of windsurfing: two in Australia, and this third one in Dahab, Egypt.

She is now rated 3rd in World freestyle standings, prob make 1st once she gets used to competition!

there are exceptions to every rule.....if you spent every day doing it you would improve much faster than people with typical opportunities

All depends on what you mean by "learn" and "doing it"....I figure once you can water start, are in the harness and straps planing (turns are for girls after all :P )....you've learned to windsurf.

I feel like I've had plenty of opportunity this past 100-day-year and learned....well apart from my monkey...... pretty much dick-all :roll: Except that it can really piss others off when you always go sailing :twisted: :shock:
At least it sure seems like I'm stagnating as I'm not willing to try new tricks that cause you pain in the process.....got enough of that doing the "old" thing :lol: Falling less doesn't really count, just means you're not trying hard enough :wink: I NEED SOME INCENTIVE MOREWIND! What happened to that $100 bet stuff??

Go to a warm place
