Noticed the kiters have many technique etc threads, but we are don't
To minimise repeat posts and give a quick reference quide to important stuff, we need some
There are many good tips on the web/vids/threads, but having them catalogued in articles would be good
We need to put together some basic articles on what and what not to do for:
- learners first attempts
- kit
- wind
- safety
- shops
- what gear rigs well with what
- measurements
- tricks
- what to do in the waves
Any other topic ideas
Who will write them?
I'm happy to help, but in a couple of weeks when uni has died down, on a windless day and i've only ws for a year so everyone knows more
Good idea or bad idea, lets flesh some of the ideas out here
dism,
Good idea - if Laurie could let someone (a few people maybe cause it would be a big job) to go back through thread archives and collate similar threads into a concisive article per topic strand. Of course you would have to cull out all the smart ar$e responses and thread deviations. Another way would be to have the topic list with links to all the relating threads - this would be a lot simplier to set up.
Laurie is keen to get more windsurfing articles. There are only three on this site.
yeah didn't think about the article with links sausage, that'd be heaps quicker
But do we want newbies (and ourselves) to have to guess sarcasm and navigate the bull?
yeah was thinking this may be good, as it's taken me plenty of research on plenty of sites and endless reading of old threads to get a good grasp on this sport (and i already had a headstart from sailing and surfing), i'd hate to be a newbie without any other water experience, that'd be really jumping in the deep end
Possibly a wiki format where anyone can contribute their ideas but those contributions can be changed would work the best.
Having wikis on equipment, technique, fitness, locations and vehicles are some ideas that may work.
