From the first wobbly, unstable boards the beginner windsurfer found it difficult to learn. As their design improved it became easier and the latest models well, you won't believe how easy it is particularly with an experienced sailboarder teaching you. Now, from models for the aspiring racer, down to those for the whole family, everyone can enjoy the sport in a wide variety of windsurfing conditions.

The boards

Certain designs can deliver excellent light wind performance, high-wind control and have exciting speed potential. They are now more stable than the early designs. They are ergonomic, durable, fun and more exciting to ride. Equally they are smooth to jibe and quick to plane which makes the learning process faster for new windsurfers. As you improve you will find yourself planing confidently and that's when the real addiction kicks in!

The Fins

Windsurfing fins and accessories are one of the most important pieces of equipment in your whole
setup. It is amazing the difference in performance in various conditions, certain sizes and quality fins can make.

The Masts

Two piece masts are best for ease of transportation. With the introduction of carbon and Kevlar the product is lighter, stronger and returns quicker to its original shape therefore giving the whole rig an effortless feel and better balance. They are far superior than the aluminium and fiberglass masts of the past. There are now masts to suit every situation.

The Masts bases, extensions and tools

Quick connect bases in a huge range of versatilities are available from the top end racers using carbon down to the beginner. There are tools now for ease of rigging as well down-hauling.

The sails

Quality made sails that are light and durable are ideal for recreational windsurfers.
Bright trendy designs make each one distinctive which is handy in a race!
The materials they are made from are UV stabilized, rip resistant and of course water proof.

The booms

Booms can have a great impact on the overall wind range and balance of your rig. Stiffness, swing weight, ease of adjustment and grip diameter all contribute to the performance of your rig and a proper choice will pay dividends every time you head out on the water.

The accessories and parts
