Priceless.
I love the "get a friend to help you carry the awkward thingy down to the water"
They didn't even touch on gybing...
So that's how the SUP was invented!
I can't believe how difficult it would be to learn on that equipment.
Look how floppy the handle thing is!
But I guess to even things out, the board is more like a small barge than a shortboard.
Sadly Gestalt, you have too much time on your hands 
Sadly the equipment he used was better then I had when I learnt 
Sadly my boom was floppier then his
Sadly he did better then me on my 1st time
The video shows the following:
Learning to windsurf is easier on a short wide learning board such as RRD Easyrider or Starboard Start than an old long board
You can windsurf in 1 knot or less of wind
Clamp on booms are the best windsurfing innovation since the universal joint
Sharks live in the ocean
Irish music complements windsurfing videos.
hehe,
cracked me up. i learnt on a one design mk1 with tie on boom, a mast step that would pop out while sailing and a centreboard that wouldn't fully retract.
it was a blast.
then i upgraded.
one design mk2 
tie on boom, tyronsea uni, retractable centreboard.
loved that too.
got a clamp boom once they were invented.
and also while uphauling

Thanks for the video, it could of been shorter but funny none the less.
Like others I learned on a One Design and couldn't recommend it more. The board is so stable I even got friends to sit on the back a few times.
As the mast was a one piece there was no need to de-rig it (except the boom) making rigging less complicated
and the lack of tautness meant that despite having far less acceleration and top speed there were less unexpected changes due to gusts, which still catch me off guard on my new rig.
My analogy from when I got my new rig is that the old one was like a bus, slow, heavy and stable, my new one is like a sportscar, light, accelerates a lot quicker and alot more precise with the steering, which aren't always good things when you're a slow learner such as myself.
Just writing this brings me down. I broke my heel bone about 6 weeks ago, which effectively ended my windsurfing until probably next summer.
