I detect some familiar face, although turned the other way :) [?] For the real beginner I would suggest skating, roller skating, then windsurfing on waves, wind surfing on solid ground seems the toughest to me. The collision with the element in question is the hardest. Of course this is based on personal experience of the undersigned who collided with the solid ground with the assistance of the agent assistant many times !!! LOL Lt SAM & Sgt SAAB [half-retired :)]
And if I may ask, where is the safety personal equipment like head, knee, elbow protection ?!!! Asking for trouble this is, if you want to get my honest opinion. LOL SAM
Christian, once I was an experienced windsurfer, but now I don't possess any longer the flexibility to continue with this sport. Speed sailing and windsurfing are rather similar. Think therefore I can see by the position of the mast and the attitude of the surfer, that he's a beginner indeed. Once he has become an experienced one, think it will be not that easy for you (due to his speed) to provide us with good captures too.
