Matt Pritchard Jump Clinic

Back by popular demand, world champion windsurfer Matt Pritchard held another one of his advanced windsurfing clinic in conjunction with Maui windsurfing school, Hawaiian Sailboarding Techniques (HST).

Ten students signed up to learn advanced jumping techniques including forward loops, backloops, table tops and push loops. The clinic started at 9am with extensive "classroom" discussion on the lawn at Kanaha. From there it off to the water, with Matt demonstrating forward loop technique close up out on the water. From there, Matt sailed out one on one with students to coach them through the loop.

Winds were a little bit uncooperative, peaking at about 21 for the first half hour on the watr, then dropping from there, making jumping a challenge. Lots of photos below. If all this intrigues you, Matt is currently planning his next jump clinic on May 14. Call HST to get more details 1-800-YOU-JIBE.
