How to learn to windsurf
It made me
feel AMAZING 
"Loads of fun...this sport is such a rush"
How I did it:
- On holiday I went on this 3 day crash course
- After the holiday I went windsurfing with my dad every weekend we could spare
- Went on the intermediate course with a group of friends
- Continued windsurfing on a regular basis
Lessons & tips:
- Once you get the momentum of going windsurfing on a regular basis; DO NOT loose it, or you will loose your nerve to go
- For the first month; always go with an experienced wind surfer. They will be a) give you encouragement b) advice on improvement
Resources:
- Always rent a board/rig- it makes transport so much easier and you can just get on with the sport
- After you know this is the goal for you- buy a wetsuit, you will feel loads better wearing your nice dry wetsuit to get into some soggy, sweaty, ripped, unwashed suit

I’ve always wanted to try this, and the year it was on The List of things to do I broke my arm. Time to put it back on my radar!!!

OK, this is a real long shot. I have scheduled a class to learn to sail. If I learn to sail, maybe I can learn to windsurf.

kiting is coolest...or not?

I wanted to windsurf at sea, but since I have to start from scratch some people advised me to start kitesurfing in stead of windsurfing.
opinions?
Equipment
2 years ago
Great fun. A friend helped me learn. First time though was actually bought equipment instead of rental, however I was cheap and paid $400 for 2 windsurfers that I could never stand up on. It was probably made in the 70’s. Anyway I did some research and felt a wide board would really help. For my second set bought a GO board, awesome fun and quick learning by a factor of 10!
As that commercial goes, for beginners at least, Wider is better!
