great explanation .... after watching this video I understand what I did wrong. After an afternoon of practicing on the water, I managed to keep up with the upwind. thanks for this explanation

[NotLink]

I had 8 lessons and went out only once by myself. Never managed to actually go upwind. Today, after watching your video, I managed to go upwind at my first try and with such an ease that I couldn’t believe it. Thank you ❤

[stokakrishna]

Most important video for all my students to watch

[Kicsifixed]

Zolty, this is literally the best thought out explanaiton for upwind i've ever seen: simple, effective, understandable, easily reproducable at home. Seriously this is the best lesson one can get unless going for proper in person lesson with an actual good instructor. I know my instructions are great and effective, but i'll steal some of these lines, as seriously it couldn't be explained better.
Well Done.
