INTUITION COURSE Freeride
LOCATION REPORT Cribby's Comment "I first went to Corpus Chrisit back in 1989 for a world championships, it was windy back then and it was windy on my return visit with INtuition guests in March 2012. Spring time in Texas is hot and windy- whilst so much of the northern States remain frozen over. We sailed in board shorts or short wetsuits, bathed in glorious sunshine and windsurfed from the fantastic centre- World Winds, who took great care in looking after us all and ensuring the INtuition course was smooth and had the usual VIP service! The long weekend was so good for all the required features of an INtuition course that we've made it an annual venue. Please unleash the big Texan in you and haul ass south!"
LOCATION MOVIE
WIND From 10-25 knots
SEA STATE Totally flat water on the inside- perfect for gybing and INtuition skills.
SAILING AREA
Standing depth water everywhere- you are very rarely out of your depth so you can always walk back- making this venue very safe and confidence inspiring. Plenty of room on the water to gybe or feel safe flying out of control learning footstrapping!
WETSUITS
Board shorts, shorty or long legs if in the water all day.
RENTAL CENTRE Worldwinds with RRD, Fanatic, Maui Sails and North Sails.
HOTEL Plenty of 'condominium' hotels and apartments locally- although since the windsurfing is in a national park there is no accommodation on site.
TRANSFER TIME
Fly to Houston- 4 hours drive, to San Antonio 2.30 hours drive, to Corpus Christi 45 mins drive. Everyone needs car rental or share.
BEACH FACILITIES Sunshades and great service.

MEALS
We ate fresh rattlesnake one night on the BBQ and ate fantastic food everyday. A great set up for INtuition.
DRINKS & NIGHTLIFE Shooting pool with the locals, country and western music, ranch BBQs. It is not New York.
