Learn the basics

The more you windsurf, the more you will realize how much there is to learn. That’s why we’ve put together a guide on the basics to help you out if you’re still a beginner or just need to re-fresh on some of the basics.

Wind awareness

The first thing you need to learn in windsurfing is how to use the wind to control the position of the sail and board. Understanding how to maneuver the board is crucial to your successful progress in the sport.

Founder and owner of North Beach Windsurfing in St Pete Beach, Florida, Britt began his love of windsurfing while competing on the windsurfing team at Eckerd College (in St Pete, FL). Competing during the school year and teaching windsurfing lessons in the summer, he even competed in the Olympic Trials for the 1996 Olympic Games. After college (and a stint working in the investment world) he decided to open a business that would allow him to indulge in the sport he loved, while teaching others how to windsurf as well. Over the years, he has continued to hone his teaching skills, earning his certification as a US Sailing Instructor / Trainer. Britt has coached several high level windsurfing competitors who have competed in the Olympic Trials and the Youth Olympic Games and helped hundreds of students reach their windsurfing goals.
