Learning

Hi, would you more experienced windsurfers would suggest learning on the estuary or in the sea? I would have thought the estuary but what would the currents be like? I would like to have a go because I still have not used my new windsurfing kit. Thanks a lot.

A couple of hours before hight tide in the estuary would be best. Nice and safe as the currents are taking you in and nowhere for you to go really. Flat water (unless its a howling NE). It will be a bit gusty, but if it your first ever go at windsurfing then you are unlikely to stand a chance on the seafront. Especially this week going by the forecast..

Thanks, I thought so. I don't know when I will finally get a go, I might ask a man we know if he could help me one day but we don't see him very often. Thanks again
