PETER HART SPRING/SUMMER COURSES
Peter Hart, the original uber guru, is once again teaming up with 2XS to run 3 courses this spring. The man needs no introduction. His knowledge and teaching style are second to none. This is your chance to be taught by a legend of the sport. There’s a course for all standards AND a day for the ladies. Check the details below.
Date: 19-21 April (one day window)
What: Jump and Loop.
Minumum standard: 100% waterstarting; planing in straps on a sub 100 ltr board.
Price: £120
Looping and all forms of aerial mastery stem from good basic jumping. Over the course Peter will look at all those elements that influence your flight, such as the set-up, early planing and stance. And for those desperate to pull the trigger, there’ll be a dedicated looping session.
The course will be called on the windiest of the 3 days but will only take place in force 5+.
Date: 22-23 April
What: Early season MAKE-OVER
Minimum standard: Planing using a harness.
Price: £200
Over the two days there’s opportunity to work on the major skills one to one – stance, tacks gybes etc. Basically Harty will analyse your sailing and see what needs doing.The course goes ahead whatever the wind.
Date: 4 May
What: Gybe!
Minimum standard: planing in the straps and harness on sub 130 ltr board.
Price: £120
Peter looks at both the non planing and planing gybe (the cornerstone of so many advanced moves) focusing on the areas where so many get stuck – power control, body angles, timing, hand movements, the rig and foot change. No stone will be left un-turned!
Date: 4 June
What: WOMEN’S MASTERCLASS
Minimum standard: happy in the harness
Price: £120
Lacking the raw strength of blokes, some women have specific issues with certain aspects of the sport, which are easily overcome with the right approach and coaching. Peter is your man. On this ‘ladies only ‘day, he looks at crucial issues such as kit selection and tuning AND of easier ways to exploit their superior balance and agility.
