Water performance

Category
summer school

Why should I choose water performance? Choose the profile subject water performance, if you are crazy about water and would like to challenge yourself with different water sports. Everyone can participate, whether you are a beginner or an experienced surfer. You will have ample opportunity to challenge yourself and have fun with your friends.

 

What are we doing?

In this profile subject, you will have the opportunity to try: Wakeboarding, windsurfing, paddle surfing and SUP surfing.
Our primary activity will be wakeboarding. The lake by Rønbjerg Feriecenter offers the perfect conditions with a brand new 2.0 systen. Apart from that, we will let wind and weather dictate what we are going to do - but with the 4 different sports, we will always have the opportunity for perfect conditions. You must, however, be ready to defy the danish weather and jump in the water in all kinds of weather conditions.

Still, there are other aspects of water performance than just being in the water. We will also be challenging and training our strength and balance on land. The balance training will primarily be done on indo-boards, jumping from springboards, trampolines, etc. The strength training will primarily consist of core training. Apart from this we will be working with the destination - preparing for the culture we will be meeting, in order to meet it with knowledge, curiosity and openness. Aside from the profile lessons we will try to arrange weekend excursions in order to get even more time in the water and thus be ready to really show our skills under perfect conditions during the trip.

Surf

Here, the primary activity will of course be surfing. We will be going to Klitmøller in small teams to surf, when the weather conditions allow it. Apart from that we will let wind and weather dictate what we are going to do. You must, however, be ready to defy the danish weather and jump in the water in all kinds of weather conditions.

 

Windsurfing at Trend Beach

You will be taught how to control board and sail. The goal is to have fun in the water and on land. You are going to learn how to turn the surfboard by luffing, tacking and booming. Speed and planing experiences and playing with freestyle tricks. Sailing on a track with buoys, so you can learn to keep height against the wind and with the wind. Self-rescue and knowledge about wind and weather. SUP board tours on Vilsted Lake and strength training when the weather is bad.

The trip

The purpose of our trip is to experience another culture - feel the differences and get to know the nature and the surroundings of the destination. It is exciting to travel and you learn a lot by trying your strength in new conditions. Oftentimes the destination offers better conditions and at the same time, we will get closer to each other as a group and get to know each other better. The trip will also be a goal for the group so we have something to work towards. During the trip, we will live and eat as they do in the place in question.

 

Teachers

At Ranum we of course have highly competent teachers in all subjects.

Water performance is being taught by one of Denmark's best female wakeboarders as well as skilled and competent guest teachers. The teachers have experience with practicing their sports, both in Denmark and abroad - so you get the best conditions to get started well.
