Your Ability

Intermediates - to get the best out of this clinic participants will need to be blasting in the harness and footstraps, waterstarting and attempting, or getting round, some carve gybes.
Improvers - to get the best out of this clinic participants will need to be in the harness and close to getting in the footstraps, beach starting, trying waterstarts and looking to improve both tacks and light wind gybes.
