With Pozo about to kick off and jaeger hopefully doing us proud again is there anyone coming up to represent us into the future or are we all just gonna talk about the good old days. You would think with our great climate, wind, waves there would be a heap of young fellas busting it , but even in maybe the windsurfing mecca of oz (gero) no one seems to be the next world beater, apart from the constant push of young euro's travelling the globe and kicking butt wherever they rig up.

Esperance ripper, Felix Spencer is trialling in Pozo..

you have a point though
we have Euro young'uns visit to train all the time - where are our young'uns?
I wonder why they are not interested..... seems still that windsurfing is the euro dream.

Nahhh. They are too scared that you old guys will show them up.

Some kids in NSW might be there in a few years time....

10 year old Elli loves her wavesailing.





14 year old Alex

There is a worrying lack of response to this thread, with the exception of KA360

My young bloke is fairly keen, but far from "next star" status, since he is only 9. Will keep pushing...gently Fingers crossed.

I'm in the same boat Aus1111. My young fella (10) had his first go at windsurfing a few months back. I asked him what he thought of it, and the word "Awesome!" was the reply Back into again this spring. Hopefully he will inspire some of his mates. KA360 is leading nicely by example.

As for future champs, who knows. So long as some kids take it up and have fun, that's good enough for me.

Here's some footage of my young fella Ryan and a friend, Tyler, with their first go at windsurfing.

My young bloke is six and can now sail.

Though I'd rather him be a pro surfer.
