Working on my Windsurf Instructor certificate

I signed up for the Ontario Sailing Association instructors fundamental course to get my Cansail Windsurf Instructor's certificate. The last few Tuesday nights have been fun online zoom meetings going over teaching methods

For my final assignment I needed to give a "land lesson". The introduction to windsurfing that I normally do on the Launch Pad simulator seemed to be the best way to try out some of the teaching methods. While we weren't actually at the Launch Pad, I found a nearby pond to use as a backdrop.

Setting up for the windsurfing land lesson

Below is the video. Definitely more fun when there are real students reacting and interacting. Let's see if I pass the course?


Good skiing till March 31st but no windsurfing at all in the last 5 weeks... we did head to Collingwood harbour with gear to check it out March 30th, but not enough wind for a 2 sport day...

March 30th wind tease - didn‘t end up launching though
