To what level? Being able to waterstart, turn and stay upwind is akin to being able to order an evening meal in a foreign language. That may be enough to say

That may be enough to say box ticked, I've learnt that, but in reality your not going to be throwing down megaloops or back mobes; that's ridiculously hard.
Not trying to knock you personally, fantastic that you've taken it up; Maybe I'm just bitter that after well over 10 years at this I still get shown up by the local kids :)
- peterbraden 10y agoHow much of that is about the difficulty of the skill and how much of that is the potential for injury? I disagree that learning those skills is harder with age, but healing is undeniably slower for older people, so you tend to become injury averse.
