Ultimate ADVANCED Boost
Next Winter I am running a 10 day clinic at Jeri, Brazil. If you wish to enhance your stance, gybes, transitions, freestyle and all-round wavesailing skills at this great venue then please book early, as it will fill quickly.
The action
- Stance – plane early, sail faster and fly upwind
- Carve gybes – from improving to fully planing
- Tacking – nailing this useful and fundamental skill
- Freestyle – introduction and improvement in lots of new and useful tricks
- Waves - get out, get in, wave selection and riding, composed airtime
I will be coaching through use of simulators, on-water coaching and video coaching. Please feel free to give me feedback on how it is going for YOU at any time so I can give you the best opportunity to develop. Your ability
To get the best out of this clinic participants will need to be sailing sub 100 litre boards in strong winds and open seas and be making some of your gybes competently!
Accommodation
A variety of fantastic accommodation with a very likely possibility that some will be staying at the newly finished Casa do John (CDJ) apartments, one of which is Jem and friends very own apartment. The basic package is at the excellent Pousada Hibiscos which is close to CDJ for the barbies and video feedback sessions there. Check out the Sportif site for details of all of these and Sportif will advise you of the prices for these on application.
Windsurfing kit
- Boards: JP, Starboard
- Sails: Neil Pryde sails
When booking your board through Sportif I recommend discussing your requirements with me.
The sailing
Wind: very very reliable trades, cross to cross off from the right, Force 4 – 6.
Water state: Small easy going waves and pretty damn flat at low tide. Other sailing areas up and downwind. Seriously warm water.
The combo of reliable strong wind and easy waves make this the place to get into and improve your wavesailing, freestyle and looping! Progression and a huge amount of sailing time are as near as guaranteed.
The social
The social will revolve around us meeting up for some well-earned pre-dinner drinks and then having dinner together in one of the fine and varied local restaurants. Sundowners at the Club Dos Ventos are stunning. It is all pretty relaxed and we have some great chat and share a good laugh at our daily stunts.
The travel
The flight is from TBA with Air Portugal and takes approx 12 hours.
Other activities
A veritable smorgasbord of other activities including horse riding, surfing and some fantastic local excursions.
