Looking for a serious boost for your wavesailing?

This clinic will get you jumping better, riding the right wave in the right way as your turns receive the full tune-up. For the more adventurous, Jem will cover forward and backward loops, advanced wave riding skills such as better bottom and top turns, smacking lips and aerials, and wave theory such as wave selection and positioning. This clinic will push your wavesailing to new levels.

With strong trade winds and a beach and reef open to the full force of Atlantic swells, Moulay is a serious wavesailing destination and an amazing location for a wave clinic. This clinic is timed to have the best chance for strong winds and good swell. Expect big jumps and big waves, not helicopter tacks and gybing practice. We’ve been working to get Jem here for a couple of years and 2010 will be his inaugural clinic. A lot of people have been waiting for this and we’re expecting it to sell out very fast.

 

Equipment

Bouj Windsurfing Adventures centre will be providing equipment with boards from Starboard and sails from Severne. It’s a small centre and very well equipped for lighter weight sailors (upto 80kg) and windier weather (25 knots plus) with a good selection of single and multi fin waveboards (including several Starboard prototypes on trial with Boujmaa). If you are significantly over 80kg or cannot bear the thought of missing a single session, you may prefer to bring your own equipment, especially larger wave boards or freestyle waves for lighter wind days. The locals here are all very light and rarely bother going out with anything bigger than a 4.7 meaning they don’t prioritize bigger kit in the centre.

 

Accommodation and food

Moulay is a very small town and we cannot confirm at this stage exactly which houses will be available for accommodation for 2010. However, the clinic will be housed in shared rooms with full board. Breakfast and evening meal will be local style – good wholesome food such as tajines, cous cous or fish bbqs. There are a number of local café’s where you can find lunch for just a few pounds each day.

 

White House Upgrade
Additional costs will apply if you prefer to stay in the White House which offers a variety of rooms, some with fantastic views. Please contact us with your requirements.

 


How to book

Check with us that there is still space on the clinic then get your flight booked ASAP (the earlier you book, the less it will cost you). It’s ideal if you can get onto the Easyjet flight opposite. If not you will have to pay extra for a separate transfer.

About Jem

Jem  Hall

 

Jem Hall needs little in the way of introduction as one of the sports best known gurus. Jem began as a lowly instructor and worked his way up to centre manager in Vassiliki. He then found a job on the Boards magazine test team as a professional tester.

He then went on to launch his career as a full time technique guru after many years of coaching amateur and professional windsurfers alongside the testing. He now has two hugely popular technique DVDs – Beginner to Winner and Winner to Wavesailor, and writes regular technique columns for Boards and Boardseeker magazines.

His larger than life reputation and undeniably loud voice often conceal that fact that he employs bang up to date coaching techniques adapted from his sports science background, and that he really cares about his clients. If you haven’t experienced Jem’s coaching before expect to receive focussed, detailed feedback, delivered with a strong element of high quality video footage.
