Windsurf 'How to' 3 Years, 3 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hard to find a simple easy windsurfing guide? I was explaining the basics to a newbie by email, and decided to post tjhe edited email on wikipedia 'wikihelp'. This allows users to edit eachothers entries to create a massive data_base_, and is just taking off. Feel free to edit my entry, and to add to it continuing the how to guide for the basics. or add other how to's such as basic free_style_, how to vulcan etc etc.



Windurfing wikiHow



If we get lots of articles, maybe Bert could include this _link_ in a How To tab?

Hey George_B you must have read my mind.

There is a reasonable but small entry for windsurfing in the "main" wikipedea - http://en.wikipedia.org but most subjects have their own - so muggins has managed to secure the domain name windsurfwiki.co.uk and windsurfwiki.com - how does everyone feel about making a start on it and see where we get to ???

I'm all for promotion of our sport, it's great that coverage is on the increase.
Can I shove in a word of warning before this project get too far underway.
A couple of months ago I qualified as a 'start windsurf' instructor and during the course we had the RYA learning method drilled into us. This method has been hammered out by a group of senior trainers and instructors to deliver the best learning method for a newcomer starting out.
You can't teach windsurfing from a web page.
This is not to protect 'jobs' or the interests of us instructors, but to protect the sport. If people do not learn in the right way they will drop out and forever after will tell people 'I tried that once and fell in all the time'. Bad publicity. I work with someone just like that.
OK i've said my bit, and I think any other instructor would agree.
Now if the page that gets built has technique guides such as you find in 'boards' or 'windsurf' magazines then that'll be great. I for one will be paying attention for the sake of improving my own personal skills.
