My Windsurfing Interest

 Hi I’m Max,

I started windsurfing when I was 8 and I am now 10 and just starting my third season racing in Team 15 (T15). 

 How I got Interested

 My friend Emma told me about windsurfing and ask me if I would like to have a go at it. I didn’t know much about the sport but I had seen some windsurfers on the sea on holiday. One Wednesday evening I went down to the sailing club and watched, and I thought it would be fun to learn.

Learning to Windsurfing

 Windsurfing is quite an easy sport to pick up, some people think you need to be physically strong because you have to take the sail out of the water and hold it up. But it’s all about knowing how to do it properly. If you are determined then it will come to you and just click, and you might get wet along the way.

 Basic Equipment

 So all you need to have to get started is a wetsuit and the club will provide the rest. The club provide bouyancy aids which must be worn when you are near the water and on the water.

 T15 Racing

 Racing is fun because you meet other windsurfers from different clubs and you are part of a team. You compete through out the day racing 5 to 6 times. The best position I came was 8^th out of 20 competitors which I was very pleased about.

 Family Interest

 Now my dad has taken up windsurfing again after 17 years break.  It’s fun having my dad being able to windsurf as well as me because we can talk about it and it is nice to know that he’s there doing it with me.

 I hope you like what I have written and I hope that you will join the fun.
