# Orthopaedics Medical Conference 2014

Customised Kitesurfing Coaching at Brandon Bay: 28th September - 4th October 2014

Jo Wilson Coaching is pleased at the opportunity to supply experienced kitesurfing coaching for the 2014 Orthopaedics Conference. The coaching will be tailored to each doctor’s kitesurfing level and will be for a maximum of groups of 4 to ensure quality coaching can be provided.

To gain the full advantages of the coaching each doctor will need to have the minimum level of being completely independent with their kitesurfing. This requires each doctor to be able to stay upwind, turn around and relaunch their kite should it crash in to the water (not all at the same time unless you are super duper good). It would also be beneficial for each doctor to have at least tried their first jumps even if this is with varying levels of success. Everyone would need to have their own kit and would also be welcome to demo out any 2015 kit that I would have with me.

Freestyle Coaching Sessions Available:

Popping and Jumping - the key techniques necessary for taking off and achieving bigger jumps

Rotations - the key motions and awareness necessary for successful rotations

Transitions - various methods of turning around without doing the ‘traditional’ slide transition

Unhooking - fundamentals of unhooking and how to make it easy (dependant on wind strength)

Cool tricks - the basics of how to do dark slides, hand plant transitions and raleys

Wave Riding Coaching Sessions Available:

Dealing with Safety, Wipeouts and Ocean Awareness - how to spot an unsavoury situation before stepping forth in to the ocean and the appropriate responses for when an unsavoury situation might/does occur

Twin Tip to Wave Board Conversion - the key skills necessary to adapt your kitesurfing to be able to ride a wave board instead of a twin tip

Carving - top tips for making carves successful which are the key components to wave riding

Wave Riding - how to link turns and make snappier turns on waves.

Each of this topics would be the focus for one afternoon so a selection of up to 5-7 of these topics can be covered. Sessions can be arranged according to the timings of the daily orthopaedic seminars and will be tailored as much as possible to the kitesurfing level of the group. Additional topics are available at request as long as enough notice is given for any preparation that might be needed.

Costs:

My daily fee would be £350 with a 3 day minimum.
My travel costs will be fuel, ferry & 2 days of travel. The total for this would be around £1200.
Appropriate accommodation would also need to be covered.
Any beginners who would require coaching would be an additional cost and this would in all likelihood be run with the local kite school.
For example to give a cost per head based on 6 doctors taking part then it would cost £435 for 3 days of coaching. £490 based on 4 days of coaching and £550 based on 5 days of coaching.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me on 07919 276 405.
Jo Wilson Coaching will look forward to the opportunity of participating in the Orthopaedics Medical Conference at Brandon Bay for 2014.
