(encouraging, uh?).<br /><br />It will all depend on how much you practice. And how much you practice will depend on how much fun you have while practicing.<br />Hence, the ONLY goal you (or anyone else) should have when going windsurfing (or when doing anything in life, let me add) is to have fun. <br /><br />If you don't have fun when learning how to jibe (even if that implies falling hundreds of times... 'cause that's what it means), you won't learn. <br />Look at the big progress you did on the Standup... it's all thanks to the fun you had while doing it!<br /><br />Do what makes you happier.cammarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319369737358774800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26620995.post-39320736545708198372010-03-10T15:50:25.522-10:002010-03-10T15:50:25.522-10:00Thanks Mum.
