Obviously this makes it slower to progress with them but I don't care. I enjoy pretty much every minute I am in or on the water.
That is the point about windsurfing...you do it at the pace of your own choosing. But you want to actually enjoy doing it. When you take it too seriouly, and set goals that may never be achievable, you set yourself up for failure, and you may just give up on the sport.
For me, I am happy that I may actually on the water. There were days I actually went backward in terms of improvement. But I knew that if I kept at it, I would get better. My point? Take failures as a lesson you got to have. Isn't that what life is all about ?

This is the "attitude" aspect of getting anywhere, without this mental approach you'll be battling to achieve much at all.

since the seventies it's always been windsurfing...."sailboarding" got around the patent, never ever cool bit like calling sailing sailboating or surfing "surfboarding" or 4WD "four wheel caring"
Or snowboarding,.....um.... Snowboarding.
