About PozoClinics.....FAQs
COURSE
What is my benefit of the course?
You will progress directly in a metodological way to an objective. You avoid a lot of dangerous situations and you save time by not crashing around. You will just go in the direction of your objective which is normally a move or a jump. Learning a move is somehow like going through a labyrinth, if you can go through it with a map and a guide you will not get lost, you will do it in a save way and you will have much more time for having fun finally.
How do you teach?
All my courses have a theoric part, a trainings-part and a practising-part. First we work on understanding the move or the position, than we do exercises on it to get our body programmed for it. In many cases we work on simulators. Finally we practise the move on the water, this should be the shortest part if the training is well done.
What are your simulators?
On the simulators we try to recreate the movements of a move. This makes us feel the clews of the whole move and we can work specific musles or specific movements, body tensión, etc.
What kind of courses do you teach?
There are courses just for getting the right position while sailing. This opens us the courses for jibing, jumping, tacking. Then there are the specific courses for jumpmoves: Forward, Forward planing, Forward stalled, Backloop, Pushloop, Shoveit, Volcano. There are courses for wavemoves also: Waveride, Taka, Wave360, Backsidewave360. Every course has its theoretical aproach, the exercise part and the practising part. Some of the courses are almost everytime individually because specially the Wavemoves are reserved for only a few people because of the difficulty.
Where it will be?
Look in the main-menu, if you click on "Calendar" you will have the spots and dates listed. You can also click in the startpage on "next clinics" too see where you can book individual classes in this moment.
Why should I come on this clinic?
This are courses which are designed specifically to raise your level in windsurf. We work in the courses with methods where psycology, anatomy and physics form part of the program. You will understand, get prepared and programmed to do the move you are going for.
What is the timetable of the courses?
We will try to find a way that you can train on your move and still have time to enjoy sailing. Anyway it is known that it is not senseful train more than you can assume a day, the body and even more the head needs to relax to be able to assume new things. We will organize the days in each spot to get the best session to train, and the best session to freesail, depending on the winds and on the tides at that moment.
Can I join for just part of a clinic?
Yes, you can attend the course just booking some hours of it. Anyway it is strongly recommended to do all the course, this is the only way that you will enjoy the effect of the whole trainings-method.
Who are the participants, age, etc?
All passionated windsurfers who want to raise their level. The age is between 25 and 55 and there are about 65% men and 35% woman. About 70% of the people have academic studies.
How much does it cost?
Look in the main-menu, if you click on "Services" and in the submeu at "Booking" you can sent a request. Normally we charge th couse per hours. So a course to learn the Frontloop has 3 to 4 hous or units and we charge 45€ to 55€ per unit.
Do you run private lessions?
Of course, please contact me to organize it.
WINDSURFING LEVEL
Which course should I go on?
In the overview of the courses you will see the things you have to know for each Course. Still the best way is just to call or email so we will find out very fast what is the right course for you. Many people are doubting about doing a forward-course because they think that their level is not high enough. For this course you only need to be able to plane and jump with a relatively small sail, I really think that the forward should be learned in best case just when you learn the jibing.
Can I sail the spot where you run the courses?
The spots where I do the clinics are famous for wave-conditions. However, we are looking to do the courses in easy conditions so that you can be concentrated in your move and not in survive. Pozo is a flatwater-spot if you are upwind, in AlmerÃa you can always choose angle and wavehight.
At both locations we have beginners-spots where we do some trainings and where your partner could start to learn windsurf..
TRAVEL
Will it be fun if I come alone?
Of course, there will be other people who share your passion of windsurfing travelling alone also.
Do I have some time off?
Yes, it is necesary that you have time of so that you can assume the things you are learning.
Which board and gear should I bring/ rent?
Contact me before you fly, If you rent you will find the perfect gear at the spot.
What shall I bring with me?
please bring your wetsuit and your harness.
How do I know that it will be windy?
In Pozo or some of the spots around Pozo there is wind ervery day from may to september. For the other spots we need to check the forecasts.
