I need some advice on buying Windsurfing gear
Posted: Fri Jun 30, 2006 9:14 am
I started windsurfing a few years ago and got to the point that I could do water starts and sail hooked into my harness. I was working on getting in the straps but hadn't even had the start of a jibe down. It has been a few years since I've been on a board and would like to get back into Windsurfing. I've forgotten most of what I learned about gear. What should I look for in a board? I don't think I need one with a dagger board but would like something that has some substantial volume. What volume do you think I should look for? As for sails I thought I would look for a 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5 for starters. I can't remember what size mast and booms I would need with these sails. I guess my best bet would to look for a complete setup that already fits. Any advice would be appreciated.
