Sunday, June 12th, 2005, 10a.m. at Cal Sailing Club seminar: "Safety tips for the windsurfers" -- The seminar will cover: common injuries and how to avoid them, how to come back to shore in non-powering low wind, or extremely over-powering high wind. How to rig your equipment so that you can sail in low wind/high wind conditions comfortably? How to water start in low wind? The proper de-rigging of equipment in the water, the proper way to swim back if all fails. Who to call if there is no help around (coast guards), and general tips on how to stay safe. The seminar will be given in at 10a.m., on June 12th, and it will be given by Sofien Sehiri (who broke three boards, many masts and booms and still made it back to shore).
