You want windsurfing instruction? You want ABK. The dates of ABK Boardsports' 2009 instructional tour have been announced, and the Peconic Puffin is happy to tell the world that a new specialty group for advanced students has been added, and its world premiere will be at Napeague!
“We’re adding a racing clinic,” ABK’s Andy Brandt told the Puffin “for those advanced students looking to further push themselves, but who aren’t interested in pursuing freestyle windsurfing.”
Not interested in freestyle?
“Hey, different people like different things about windsurfing,” said Andy, who is also quite the racer in addition to his career as freestyle evangelist. “Some people want to blow their friends off the water, some want to do tricks, some love the waves, and many, many windsurfers just want to cruise. We’re here to help people get better at any and all of it, because every day sailing is a great day sailing.”
You know it is!
ABK will hold three clinics on Long Island in 2009. All three will have full programs for skill levels starting at “never before windsurfed” to “I’m ripping through my jibes…now what?” All at Napeague, they are:
Fri May 15- Sun, May 17 (the Spring Spectacular…tune up for the season)
Fri Sep 18- Sun, Sep 20 (including the Racing Clinic for interested advanced students)
Fri Sep 25- Sun, Sep 27 (including the Freestyle Clinic for interested advanced students).
