The SureWind is a hefty solid machine. It weighs about 800 lbs. It rolls on wheels into place (a level one), it needs minimally 15 amps, 110 volts.

With its inflatable safety air bag surrounding it, it is very attractive for dealer promotions in malls, shopping centers, beaches, etc.

It allows for major advertising (sponsors) space, 20 feet by 20 feet should be sufficient floor space, with about 10 feet height.

So, a beginner lesson, in a controlled environment can start with a firm (large, stable board) and 3 knots of wind with a 6 meter (simulated) sail. No gusts, no waves.

From hereon in the sky is the limit. The communication of the instructor with the beginner will be of major importance for the first positive on water “big” board experience. By programming a smaller board, more wind, gusts, waves, etc. the individual will learn just about everything about stance and position. The boom height is adjustable for each participant.

Eventually: water starts and harness. THESE ARE EXPERT TECHNIQUES AND ARE ONLY TO BE TAUGHT BY QUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS.

Training and exercising on a SureWind is a must when leaving colder climates to go South for a windsurfing vacation.

SCORING: When we reprogrammed the software to C ++ we incorporated a scoring system. A highly visual LED has bystanders see the progression of that score and they can encourage their favorite competitor! Lots of fun.
