Who is behind WindsurfCoaching.com?

Founded by Colin Whippy Dixon with Marco Welde, we’re committed to using the latest technology combined with a friendly fun attitude to improve your windsurfing technique. To get in your head on the water, we use Gopro cameras, mics and headphones to get the most of your time with the dream team.

How did the team come about?

We wanted to start a dream team of the best instructors in the world, so people can get the best out of us.

Windsurf Coaching online!

How does the website support what you do on the water?

The website was built by Charlie Ellington from Speech Bubble Marketing. He sat down with us to find out how the website and the marketing around it could help us sell the GoPro DVD and promote our clinics.

Charlie is an expert in online marketing, he started Speech Bubble to fuse his love of windsurfing and any action sport with a solid degree in marketing. After designing the site, he still works hard to promote the Windsurf Coaching brand.

What useful info can someone expect to see now, and in the future, on the website?

You can now find all the information you need, book the deposit on a course, or pay in full now and get a 10% discount.

We are currently updating the website with the mega van blog, we’re on a mission to build the ultimate windsurfing van. In the future you’ll see photos from the clinics and more coming in the future! You can register your interest now for UK clinics in Autumn.

What is next for the Windsurf Coaching team? 

We have some exciting things going on with a Euro tour stopping at a few of are favourite spots, including Greece to work at Club Vass for three months and then we will be back to the UK to tour for another three months.

Go Pro with Colin and Marco DVD.

What is covered?

A whole range of moves including lightwind, carving, upwind, jumping and freestyle extras.

Colin and Marco talk you through each stage of each move in a very clear and concise way, making it easy to understand. They used a huge variety of camera angles to film each move both from afar and up close, so you can see exactly what each body part should be doing. This is what sets GoPro aside from previous coaching videos, it reinforces the importance of each step and part of each move.

Don’t miss the ‘Mistakes’ section, highlighting the common mishaps from each move and how to avoid. This part for each move is definitely worth a watch, at the very least for the comedy crashes!

Who is the DVD aimed at?

GoPro with Colin and Marco focusses on moves and whilst there is a lightwind section to make the most out of the coaching delivered you would want to be a competent windsurfer – planing in the harness and footstraps. This does not by any means indicate that you should be pulling off planing carve gybes, in fact the opposite is true. The coaching in this video can take you from blasting, through corners and into your first flat water tricks; if you are at the comfy windsurfing stage where you can happily blast around but want to take things to the next level this is absolutely for you.

Two landmarks moves in windsurfing, the carve gybe and forward loop, are delivered particularly well, so if you’re looking to start trying or determined to land either of these moves we are certain the tips from Colin and Marco will help. Again, the mistakes sections are a must watch for these two and pay close attention to the hand and foot movements.

Marco Wedele.

Where can I buy? 

The GoPro with Colin and Marco DVD is available at a number of retailers as well as directly from their website here.

Want coaching in person?

Colin and Marco don’t just do DVDs, oh no you can also catch them at various locations around the world sharing their wisdom and getting to take your windsurfing to the next level.  A full itinerary of their clinics over 2013 can be found here.
