Windsurfing

Windsurfing, unlike regular Surfing, is not dependent on a deep onshore wind or particular bottom shape, to cause great waves and rollers in order to get a ride. With windsurfing it is more about the wind, any wind and some wave action and of course your ability to harness these.

What's involved:
Like any good sport you need to begin somewhere. Windsurfing is no different. It requires that you start with a board that is easy to control and then as you progress, you move on to the more radical ones that will allow you to catch more air. There are many to choose from and some of the feature that need to be considered are presented here:

 Instructions: 

So now you know about boards how do you actually do it? There are several ways. There are those of us who will struggle through it with no instruction whatsoever and that is OK if you are a person who is already active and has some experience in a related sports such as surfing and sailing. (This is closer to to cat sailing (Hobie-cat) than yacht sailing). Some outfitters offer windsurfing camps (HST ) where you will attend instructional classes and then receive hands on experience under the watchful eye of the instructors. These are usually offered for different skill levels. On the other hand if you are taking up water sports for the first time  and are not attending a camp, you can and should receive some personal instruction ( often available where you buy your board -Ask) or at least get a tape or DVD.  Below is a list of some of the more common ones.

We  also have a beginning instructional page that will help you actually get on your new board and get going.

The more you get to do a sport the more you will enjoy it. We have found that being prepared to leave at a moment notice will increase the number of time that you will actually get out and do it. Ultimately the best way to be prepared is to have all the necessary gear already stored in a "gear trailer". This is a trailer dedicated to this purpose. READ ON.
