I've been dedicated to coaching juniors for many years now and it's a pleasure to finally get to share this with all of you! Hit the link below for an action video with all the kids from the #StraightOuttaFiskeback Junior Freestyle Team and a great feature interview by Chris Pressler at Continentseven.

Good job Hakman..

From "The Dunkerbecks" article in the Sep 2020 edition of Windsurf Magazine, "If every windsurfer would help our sport and get a minimum of one person a month into windsurfing, we would have the sport back to where it was 20 years ago in no time." Hear hear.

I know if I had the means I would be introducing kids to the sport en mass. Get them out of their digital cocoons into the fresh air and sunshine to live a real life.

I try to get people on a board but it's tough to find water warm enough that they don't need a wetsuit, that isn't something I can lend out.

Thanks! I totally agree, there's so much fun to be had with windsurfing and too many people are missing out. Hope you get the means to do just that!

Where are you at? I've had quite a few people tell me that their local scenes don't have any organized activities for kids, or adults for that matter. I've had a bit of luck setting up teams in different parts of Sweden, but it would be great to see this spread to other countries as well.

Many thanks!

There is a fair amount of organised activities in SEQ where i live but mostly beginner or racing

No beginner / intermediate freestyle stuff going on. Im not the best placed to organise it because freestyle is not my forte

Good to hear that there's something going on at least! Maybe getting a group of people that want to learn freestyle together for practice sessions where you can figure things out together would be a good place to start?
