Um pé de mastro em que o velejador não precisa fazer o puxão e a vela não cai na água facilitando o aprendizado.

Alcontrário do que você deve estar pensando ele mantêm todo o controle de arribar e orçar bem como desenvolve o equilíbrio com mais facilidade.

A CAMBORIUWIND já esta utilizando este equipamento nas suas aulas e os resultados estão sendo satisfatórios principalmente com o público infantil e mulheres http://www.ido-innovation.com/

  What is the iDO? It is a mast base that limits the lean of the
        sail, designed for boards 85cm wide or more, and with sails up
        to 5m2.

      What does the iDO do? It eliminates the need to uphaul and
        the need to balance the sail for beginners.

      What difference does it make?  People can windsurf 
        instantly.And we really do mean instantly. The difference it
        makes is equivalent to trainer wheels on bicycles. Without
        them, people need to learn to balance on two wheels before 
        they can ride a bicycle. With trainer wheels, they can ride
        instantly, and as they pick up speed, they naturally start to
        balance on two wheels as normal.With its angle limitation,
        everyone can windsurf instantly too,moving forward and
        maneuvering the board with natural feel and without fear of falling.                              
       

   Most people think it's hard to learn to windsurf. If what the iDO does is
     true,wouldn't thousands of people learn to windsurf instantly? 
     This is exactly what makes the iDO themost exciting invention in 
     the last decade. With its distributionin to schools, clinics and
     shops worldwide,  windsurfing changes forever.

     
  Among all the ways the iDO changes the way beginners experience
     windsurfing and how people can now perceive windsurfing
     as an easy sport to learn.  
     When the iDO is used with the Gemini tandem board,
     the iDO reveals one of its greatest potential: to see 
     beginners scream as they feel the sensation of planning
     and flying on the water instantly is simply incredible. It's
     just like tandem skydiving with a beginner. There's no need 
     to learn or practice. It's an instant thrill for everyone: the 
     iDO Gemini
