The Intermediate Windsurf Instructor course is for experienced RYA Start Windsurfing instructors who are looking to improve personal sailing and teaching skills.
This is a great way to take your windsurfing instructing to the next level and start to coach the higher-level schemes, introducing students to more dynamic techniques with the thrills and spills of the sport, and getting them into the harness and footstraps.
The intermediate course and instructor training are assessed in two competencies, non-planing and planing, and is the first instructor course to incorporate the Fastfwd coaching tool.
