In Spring  Jem is running 2 one week coaching clinics in Marsa Alam, Egypt.  If you wish to enhance your stance, starts, gybes, transitions, basic freestyle, jumping and all-round sailing skills at this great venue then please book early as it will fill quickly.

The action - the coaching will be relevant to the ability level for that week

* Waterstarts­ learning and improving
* Stance­ Getting in the straps, sailing faster, up and downwind
* Carve gybes­ for first time gybers to improving and getting that elusive planing gybe.
* Tacking ­nailing this useful and fundamental skill
* Freestyle ­ introduction and improvement in lots of new and useful tricks
* Jumping ­experience your first airtime and get into some bigger jumps on the rolling swell outside.

I will be coaching through use of simulators, on-water coaching and video coaching. Please feel free to give me feedback on how it is going for YOU at any time so I can give you the best opportunity to develop.

Your ability
To get the best out of this clinic participants will need to in the footstraps or as near as and be making some waterstart and looking to carve gybe. All moves can be
worked on for the the advanced riders.

Accommodation
We will be staying at the beautiful Hotel in Marsa Alam. The hotel is quite recently built so is in excellent shape. The package is half board with a generous breakfast and evening meal available. Wireless is now available at the centre and in the hotel reception. The beach bar is now up and running and has an excellent menu and of course refreshments for those all important cold ones at apres surf time.

Windsurfing kit
It is a very high quality set-up with excellent customer service, alongside Fanatic, and some Mistral, boards powered along by North sails. When booking your board through Sportif I recommend the below boards or a suitable alternative.

The sailing
Thermal, cross- shore from the left over a sandbar, with
an inside flat water lagoon perfect for gybing and outside rolling swell for improving blasting control, jumps and
gybing in bumpier water.

The social
The evenings will revolve around us meeting up for some well earned drinks and having dinner together in the restaurant. Then we can retire to one of the bars or lounge on cushions in true Egyptian style.

It is all pretty relaxed and we have some great chat and share a good laugh at our daily stunts and the apres surf is focussed around the beach bar.

The travel
Wednesday morning flights from Gatwick and other airports TBC. International bookings are welcome as you arrange your flight to coincide with the clinic dates.

Other activities
There is volleyball, and fantastic snorkelling plus other action.
