Safety support by adult Required
Min duration 1 h
Cost High
Environment Outdoor

Stand on a board and control a sail attached to it, using wind and body weight to steer across water at speed — windsurfing demands balance, physical strength, and wind-reading skill, giving you the feeling of harnessing the elements directly.

The Essentials

Steps

  1. Take a beginner lesson to learn how to hold and steer the sail.
  2. Practice getting the board and sail balanced before trying to move.
  3. Learn to uphaul the sail out of the water from a resting position.
  4. Start on flat, sheltered water with light, steady wind.
  5. Progress to stronger wind and choppier water as your balance improves.

Tips

  • Wear a wetsuit and a buoyancy aid appropriate for the water temperature.
  • Fall away from the board and rig, not onto them, when you lose balance.
  • Check wind and weather forecasts before heading out, and avoid offshore winds as a beginner.
