Ben and his son John John » Starboard Windsurfing

What can kids learn from windsurfing?

“Sharing our passion for windsurfing has also allowed me to reinforce the essential values I want to instill in my son, such as respect for nature, perseverance, patience, and determination. By sailing together, we learn to work as a team, make quick decisions, and overcome the challenges that come our way. It strengthens our bond as we support each other at every step of our adventure. In the end, windsurfing provides us with an escape, a shared adventure, and a way to create lasting memories. We share laughter, moments of awe in the face of nature’s power, and deep conversations during our sessions on the water. It’s a perfect balance between enjoyment, learning, and sharing.”

Some more words from Ben: 

“Windsurfing is much more than just a pastime for us. It’s a passion that unites us, pushes us to exceed our limits, and reminds us of the importance of living in the present moment. By sharing this adventure with my son, I realize how precious it is to pass down our passions and values to the next generation. Our passion for windsurfing has become a cherished legacy, an unbreakable bond between a father and his son, and an invaluable source of joy and inspiration in our lives.”
