Location, inspiration, instruction and opportunity - the ingredients to getting kids into windsurfing.

I have made this movie about Bonaire and Alex age 8 learning to freestyle and flowstyle for his 9th birthday. Alex turned 9 today - Happy Birthday World Champ!

Alex started to windsurf at age 7 and has now been windsurfing for 2 years. Our plans for this year is to do some speed sailing with the GPS and as the weather warms up get a bit further into freestyle (including higher wind tricks - getting better at his willy skippers and geckos and then trying vulcans and spocks as well as duck gybes etc).

I hope you enjoy the movie...

awesome video.. flowstyle looks great for the kids - close to the beach, huge boards, rig handling skills and not too much strength required.

(ps if he's nine today, the day he was born must have been an odd day.)
