A LONG STANDING HISTORY

Here are two quotes. Your quiz question is to deduce in what possible way they might be related.
“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they contradict their parents and tyrannize their teachers.”

PETER HART MASTERCLASS - JAN/FEB 2012 ISSUE 312
“It took me years to become a natural.” I said expecting the whole room to collapse in paroxysms of laughter at my biting, ironic wit. But I was the only one who got the joke. In truth I was trying to make a serious point. People look at pro windsurfers and profess that they make it look so easy because they’re naturals. The insinuation, which can be taken both as a compliment and an insult, is that they’ve breezed to the top…

PETER HART MASTERCLASS AT OTC WEYMOUTH
PETER HART MASTERCLASS AT OTC WEYMOUTH
PRESS RELEASE
Peter Hart Masterclass Comes to The OTC, 31st May ’13
The Official Test Centre (OTC) in Weymouth are super pleased to announce that Peter Hart will be gracing the water (and mats) in front of the OTC centre at the end of May.
Harty is the original guru’s guru and with that title comes a staggering wealth of knowledge in how to help you improve on the water … and have a good time doing so. This personal makeover clinic’s exact timetable will depend on the weather naturally, but one thing that you can bank on is that it will include a video analysis session and will go ahead no matter what the conditions. Bring along your own kit to discuss tuning (a board for non-planing conditions as well as planing if possible), but benefit from being at The OTC as well by trying some of the latest kit available too.
If you’re struggling to nail a specific move or are just a bit despondent at your general lack of progress, the root causes are usually the same. So on this course Pete will place your windsurfing under the microscope, and then clear away the infections. You can ask him to address a particular skill or you can just ask him to have a look at your overall game. Whichever, you WILL emerge a better player! The course will include some dry-land tuning and skill analysis, LOADS of on water practice and perhaps even a pint afterwards!
Minimum standard for applicants is ‘planing in the harness’ and cost for the day is just £99.00. For more information email info@otc-windsurf.com or call + 44 (0) 7817 717904.
