Wind was a on the edge of planing conditions- as you can see from people around me- apx 12-15knots. Flat calm water due to being in the protected windward end of the bay.

My personal top tip: develop a fear of anything that lives in the sea (jellyfish for myself) and you will waterstart in seconds.

@keithhagberg3019

Thanks! Have watched many of yours and others. Wanted to say thanks. You boil it down to what matters, and communicate it at a masters level. Thanks again!

@cobbiepalm6790

You always provide a new approach to the common tasks. This time you show us that you can break the rule of getting rig and board perfectly set before proceeding. This is a breakthrough to focus on the rig and depending on your skill level you may not have to put the board in that perfect position!

@peterjones4809

The hardest part of water starting is getting in position, especially with a 6.5 or bigger. Good lesson 👍

@treborhi

That's quite a collection of hard earned skills.

@horsemadf1

I like the way you use the natural drift to help. I usually swim like crazy. I'm no spring chicken so by the time I get up I'm buggered. I'm going to be more laid back and not fight things from now on.

@s177p

Super! Thanks!

@Chris-sh7kr

This is great help but I really think KZfaq could do with a waterstart in chop/waves tutorial. That's a different ball game

@hanslaught2351

Good tips. I will try them out. My problem is usually I can't seem to get the rig out of the water (especially with waterlogged mast, boom, etc). I only wear harness / wetsuit and swimming / paddling hard with my feet to lift the top of the mast seems impossibly exhausting sometimes. Maybe I just need to let the rig/board float around a bit to the right position before wasting energy! Putting the mast across/slightly downwind is another big thing.

@SailingWhyknot

I wish I had the chance to watch your videos when learning windsurfing years back then.

@stefanogiusti5423

Thank you! You have a special touch! I admire your style!

@shultzo

Dear Cookie, I'm a big fan, and most of my windsurfing progression came with the help of your videos.

@williamtech4668

best recovery guide i have seen so far. I always focus on the board too. Will igonere that from now ;)

@vladara7226

I had no idea that a water start could be done from either side of the board. I'm shocked 😮

So much value here - signed up for your Patreon and please keep up the great work!

@ghughes20

Just struggled with this the other day. My usual spot is shallow. The deepest is usually about chest deep form me. I found a deep hole and needed to do a true weather start. I kept trying to fly the rig only to discover, after several failed attempts, that my bottom harness line was wrapped around my weed fin!!! Boy did I feel stupid. Anyway, great video. I also subscribed to your Patreon. Keep up the good work!!

@joakimyliruusi

Oh man, the timing of this video was just too good! Rig recovery is biggest problem with waterstarts. Really have a hard time get the rig flying, wasting tons of energy. And tomorrow there should be some nice wind to get going on a (for me) small board 90l, which I need to waterstart. Thank you so very much!

@douglasmendes2040

Wonderful class! 🔝

@maxpenner9907

Well done. Very helpful.

@baixdata9716

Hi Cookie, here from Castelldefels-Spain !! Great video again !!! Nice water there you have, hope I can meet you soon there :-) I´m improving a lot with your videos, planning, stance, harness, etc. Could you do a video talking about fins ? Thx a lot and keep it coming !!!
