About John and Nayra
John Skye was the 2009 UK wavesailing champion and is a seasoned performer on the World Tour in the Wave, Freestyle and Supercross disciplines. He sails with aggression and heaps of style, yet doesn’t consider himself a natural talent, his level reflects countless hours practicing and learning how to learn. John was among the first pro sailors in the UK to enlist the services of a coach, working with Jem Hall and team Fakefish for several years. John still works closely with Jem today, although these days John has joined Jem as a serious coach.
However, a John Skye coaching clinic is less intensive and less theoretical than many of the other ‘guru’ clinics. Its more about inspiring you to go for moves with a few tips here and there than breaking the carve gybe down into its 17 key body positions down, each of which has to be perfected on the simulator before you even get your feet wet. John prefers to sail around with you, shouting encouragement to go for your jumps, or loops or waverides, while pulling the same moves (and probably a few, slightly more radical ones as well).
He is joined on the clinic by Nayra Alonso who is one of the top women wavesailors in the world. Off the water Nayra is bubbly, incredibly enthusiastic and friendly. On the water she is a feisty, fearless and very talented wavesailor, with a style many PWA men can’t match. Nayra is also more than happy to lead morning yoga sessions, which are well recommended. They do increase your ability on the water, and the length of time you can stay out there.
As a coaching team with pro experience, extremely high ability on the water and an enthusiasm to passing those skills on they are very hard to beat.
What to expect from a Skyeboy/Nayra coaching clinic:
- Two incredibly friendly, enthusiastic and encouraging coaches
- Video coaching, including head cam footage
- A fairly relaxed atmosphere. It doesn’t feel like school.
- An emphasis on higher level moves, such as improved waveriding and jumping
- Morning yoga sessions
- The latest thinking on equipment, and all the gossip and news from the PWA world!
