- a youth project for sports motivation
The youth project KeikiSurfer is a private
based initiative to inspire kids for water sports. We would like to communicate
the importance of doing some sport – just to have fun and stay healthy.
We invest a lot of passion and dedication next to our regular job without
any intention to make profit with it.
We
try to achieve the kids' interest by our intensive press relations. The
next step is our VDWS-KeikiSurfer-Roadshow, then. The KeikiSurfer team
travels through whole Europe stopping by at the best windsurf-spots. There,
we offer windsurf training events for free. All is organized in cooperation
with the local windsurf schools. Superficially, the participating youths
can practice new windsurf moves and get in contact with other kids. Quite
often there are built lifetime relationships between them.
The
team KeikiSurfer:
Our five team riders revealed to be especially eligible within an intensive
selection procedure in the season 2005. Now, they come together each two
weekends and practice new freestyle moves together. Initially the team
riders are promoted over three years and undertake diverse special tasks.
The most outstanding one is training the events' participants.
VDWS-KeikiSurfer-Roadshow:
We are proud to invite all youths, interested in windsurfing to our road
show events. Thanks to the cooperation with the local VDWS windsurf schools
we are able to provide a safe progress of the events. Oversighted by skilled
windsurf instructors, we can grant your kids' safety. Please feel free
to get registered for the events at the local windsurf center. Of course,
you are also invited to come spontaneously.
We start on Saturdays at 10 am where everyone is introduced to each other.
To meet the kids' drive we get onto the water directly afterwards. Depending
on their different abilities the kids are separated into small groups.
The purpose is to learn the windsurf moves standing on top of their wish
lists in small and efficient groups. Even the rookies can get on board.
We recommend to bring own equipment to the events, on which your kids
usually surf. You can also rent some windsurf material and wetsuits at
the cooperating surf center.
Guided by the KeikiSurfer team riders, Julia, Sebastian and the windsurf
instructors each group has its own program. By practicing together, the
kids see the difficulties and enhance their motivation to try a new move.
Furthermore, we offer seminars about how to raise the fitness and show
why stretching is so important. Parents might be interested in which windsurf
equipment could fit to their kids – you can trust in us. The whole
KeikiSurfer team and the windsurf school appreciate to discuss with you
about suitable material and would also be willing to offer workshops for
you and your kids. Topics could be the advantages of freestyle boards,
lightweight equipment, skinny masts or how to trim a sail.
Usually there is a break for lunch from 1 – 2 pm and to get some
power for the afternoon. Depending on the weather conditions we adapt
the program. But one thing is for sure: even when having lull there is
offered a lot! And at enough wind for planing, you will get offered something
unbelievable.
