<p>Thanks for the info Larry, yes I do have the pdf already, so Hatteras was just a chance to get out and play with rudimentary freestyle on low wind days talking to Mike and reading the pdf and then attempting to do! All in waist deep water where you can walk back upwind (not swim)! and restarts are easier because of the shallowness! </p>
<p>I am a great believer in lessons but like everything else it takes practice, practice, practice!</p>

<p></p>
<p>If you insist on learning on your own, download the ABK instruction book. Page 64 explains how to sail on the lee side: Weight on the back foot, pressure on the front arm.…</p>
