Last day of the L3 Course and the wind is all over the place. Advise
everybody to go for throw about sails and big boards. After yesterdays
introduction to freestyle everybody wanted to heli-tack but all had run
into problems backwinding the sail.
Set up a board on the grass with my 5.4 (nice and light compared to the
centre kit) for some dry land demos. Showed the rig 360 and sent everyone
out to practice. It was good to see that everybody got the heli-tack after
a fashion and most were doing rig 360's. Some had a go at body and sail
360's after dry land practice as well.
Overall it was a good course and the added element of longboard freestyle
gave everybody something to progress with despite the lack of wind.
Hopefully most of these people will be applying for the L4-5 course later
in the year (more time off work).
