Alan Hillman has been involved in sailing and teaching for all of his life. He has run junior sailing programs in the US, was the first RYA Windsurfer Manager, set up Team Unlimited (a high performance sailing and windsurfing center), was Race Director for the Extreme 40s and the Barcelona World Race and established Pro-Vela (offering personalized foiling coaching). He now owns and runs Sportsboatworld (distributors of the SB20) and Foilingworld (the creators of the F101). He learned to foil the hard way - by teaching himself, involving many hours on, in and under the water. He has distilled this experience into the program offered by Pro-Vela and detailed in this book.
