gree,

your boat doesnt want you to try windsurfing. it is like crack i tell you. i started with my hobie and sailed most of the time single handed. rigging just takes so long on the boat. i can be on the water in 10min with my windsurf stuff which makes it justifiable to hit the lake after work.

when the wind is 10-15mph then its just cruising on the windsurfer....even with a 10m sail but it is still fun. when the wind hits 18+, and you get on plane, its a different ball game. the real addicting quality of a windsurfer is the feel/response that you get on a board. im glad i didnt start windsurfing as a kid because i would of never gotten a job.

i just like anything with sails. the windsurfer just gives me more time on the water.


windsurfers dont point as well as the boats but they can generate some serious speed. windsurfing does have a longer learning curve, but man it was worth it.
