What is the difference between a surf board and a windsurfing board?

Besides the sail obviously! And if there is no difference, are there any convertible boards (windsurfing to surfing and vice versa) on the market?

    Surfboards are thinner and lighter.

    Windsurfing boards are thicker and heavier. They also have cleats and bigger fins and sometimes a keel board and attachment points for the sail.

    They are not interchangeable.

    Hello ' tatiana' :
    Mijn antwoord was " Sail". I' ve vernam nooit convertibele raad. Eigenlijk, I' ve surfte nooit voordien!
    Ik heb gehoord het zei dat een persoon veel meer sterkte nodig heeft om het zeil uit het water te krijgen wanneer wind-surfend.
    Als er zulk een ding als convertibele raad is, zou WikiPedia.org uw info hebben.

    They are made to be surfed in heavy winds and to go a lot faster. They are not suitable for surfing.
