I live in Puerto Rico where we have beautiful beach days and awesome wind, always crowded beaches and never ending heat. I’m an architecture student wanting to try out a new sport. I have some friends who already kite surf but I’m not completely sure if I want to do it to. I’ve always been amazed with windsurfing but everyone I’ve asked keeps telling me to try kite surfing instead. Thanks!

I need to know how to figure out measurements to use and what type of gear is generally the best to use

Tyler asked:


I’m starting windsurfing and am wondering exactly what size gear I should use. I’m 13 years old, average size, average weight. I’ve been looking at sails and think I should maybe use a 4.0 to 4.5 sail (not sure, please tell me if correct). I have no clue about boards or anything else though. Please help.

Bluez asked:


I am into windsurfing and need a harness. At the same time i consider a floating “device” for safety reasons. Can not however combine a life jacket with a waist harness (impractical) and seat harness i find very uncomfortable.
So could an impact vest with a harness (DAKINE vest p.e.) do the job, or would it be just an impact vest and limit my ability for free movement ?
Should i just go for a waist harness (does it provide flotation) ?

Thanks
Oh, I am a great swimmer the question is what if you get hit while falling (hit on the board p.e.) and you get dizzy.Don’t you need floataion ??

I was wondering if it is possible to windsurf with a broken leg, right now i have the walking boot on and can go in the water and such. It would be my first time windsurfing so i won’t be doing anything crazy just getting the basics, It will be in a lesson
Its not a cat, its one of the removable boots, and i have been in a pool doing Physical Therpy for the past week, i will also have a life jacket

I’m going to go up at a friends cabin and I was just wondering if it was possible to windsurf at the lake

Brian asked:


ALERT! I am a noob at this stuff, tell it to me in a way that I would understand, thanks.
I’m looking into windsurfing lessons, and of course, getting the hang of it before I buy equipment, but I don’t have the slightest clue about the differences in the sails, and prices and performance. So…
what’s a good reliable brand I could trust that has good quality equipment?
and what kind of board should I get since I’m a beginner?
