Newer windsurfers should get Eva rubber top surface which is soft and has good traction vs the sand paper finish that is used on some boards for advanced windsurfer that do not fall in much. Mistral boom are made of aluminum to minimalize the weight while windsurfing. The Mistral windsurfing boards and sails are innovative and exciting. The collections of Mistral include retro coloured Revival windSUP sails. For windsurfing you need a surfboard with a sail.

The exceptions in the middle of the mast base and at the top are NP and NorthSails/NS.

At the top of the mast base the standards are U.S. For an average joe windsurfer like myself, I feel NO difference on these options. The top surface is important if you value your skin. Mistral offers three different lengths in sails, the 7.8m, 6.5m and 5.4m. The universal standard is the hourglass, the tendon and the mechanical joint. Once they get over 30 lbs some family members will not be able to carry them. Most higher quality windsurfing boards weigh between 15 and 30 lbs. Weight is also important not only because lighter boards plan sooner. Modern windsurfing packages should have windsurfing boards 32 to 34 inches wide. You will get 1 to 2 lbs of flotation per liter. Also having the correct amount of flotation for the biggest person in your family. You will need a windsurfing package that will help you learn tacks and jibes. But also will grow with you as your skills increase. Getting a quality board that will work great for light wind and learning. Windsurfing packages can really be a great way to get into windsurfing. Re: A question on high wind wing foiling.Fanatic Viper Med and Std Power Glide by Ezzy Windsurfing Package HELP! Backroom deal worked out to kick foiling out of Kahului Harbor, Maui One warning, it will be more than a casual toy-it will suck a lot of time out of your rec schedule because it's SO much fun sailing old style with a new sail.įoil board - Takoon Comet SW 5’1 100 liters A junky skinny mast to match, pop the cover off those extensions so you can stick a skinny inside, drill holes through for a pin to change length, dig up a cheap aluminum boom and you're in Biz. The good news is that windsurfers are still the fussy little gear twidgets they always were and you can pick up a nice 5.0 Freak used for a hundred bucks or so in any big windsurf town.

Gave em all to a local kid and bought a full suit of freaks. I few years ago when I started to sail my SUP boards I decided to fill out my quiver of one Superfreak with a few old Ezzy and North wave sails I had kicking around. I tried a modern kite a few weeks ago and I was amazed. Every time there's a generational change the previous generation sucks.
