We have been thinking that it would be really cool to have a Windsurfing Weekend (maybe long weekend) for windsurfers who are interested in teaching their own kids to windsurf.

Kids love to see other kids windsurfing and that really helps to motivate them to give it a go and persist with it once they've started.

We would love to see something like this annually at least (or more if it works out well). It could be held in different locations if that's what everyone wants.

We have just moved to the coast and our house is full of termite damage so we probably can't do anything spectacular this summer but it would be good to get an idea if anyone else is interested so we can start working on it for next summer.

Of course if anyone wanted to get together with no pre planning this summer, it might kick start the process. We reckon Sanctuary Point on the NSW south coast is one of the best spots for teaching your kids.

I thought that the whole family could come, arrange their own accommodation and bring their own gear to teach their kids with if they have it (otherwise, we could try to share). There would need to be at least one parent who windsurfs to teach their kids. We would exchange ideas and tips, maybe help each other and the kids could make some new "appropriate" (that is from a windsurfing family) friends.

In time, we could try to approach shops for demo gear, arrange a BBQ/party for one night, organise races and friendly competitions and maybe even put in for instructors to take them to a new level once there are enough doing the basics (eg teaching them freestyle tricks or how to race slalom).

So, any takers?
