| Tips
|
|
| Why are wider windsurfing boards better for learning? | They are more stabile. |
| Why is windsurfer board weight important for planing? | The lighter the tip of the windsurfing board the sooner it will jump up on top of the water and start to plane. |
| How do I make my windsurfing rig lighter? | The windsurfing mast makes the most difference. Due to it's length the leverage of a light mast is easier to up haul and jibe. Plus a higher carbon mast is more stable. Booms such as carbon are also one pound lighter and stiffer. |
| What are a few windsurfing safety tips? | Wear a PFD. A helmet will help protect your head. Wetsuits will keep you warmer. Windsurf in the wind range that match your skill level. Sun protection with hats, sun screen, and sun shirts. Take a lesson. Use a big enough windsurf board. Beginners need about one liter of float for each pound of person. Advanced windsurfers can get by with one liter of float for every two pounds of person. |
| Where is the best place to learn to windsurf? | Flat water with a nice steady breeze. A certified instructor can really shorten the learning curve. |
