Windsurfing is the most amazing of sports. It combines the thrills of surfing,
the tranquillity of sailing, and puts you in touch with nature better than a good hike.
It is a sport that you can go off by yourself for some amazing peace of mind, or sail
with a crowd of 200 other windsurfers for unbeatable comradery. No sport other than
windsurfing can give the unbeatable feeling of being out in the open, gliding
effortlessly over beautiful, clear waters. It's a sport where you can cross
great expanses with a friend or explore unchartered waters alone. A windsurfer
has virtually unlimited access to the oceans, lakes and waterways on this planet.
It's fun, it's easy - it's the perfect sport.
The main attraction is the enormous diversity and the challenges windsurfing offers to
all levels of sailors. Whether you're 8 years old or 80, taking your first precarious
steps on a beginner's board or working out how to pull of the latest radical freestyle
manoeuvre, the sense of achievement is unsurpassed.
It's a sociable sport...
Windsurfers are in general a very nice bunch of people; helpful and always willing
to chat. Windsurfing with other people adds even further to the enjoyment; big grins
as you pass each other on the water, and lots of encouragement and advice available
when trying new techniques or tricks.
You have a strong common bond in your shared love of this sport. Great days blasting
over blue water, and great evenings too. Buzzing after a good day, regaling your pals
with your lurid descriptions of the moves you pulled off and the ones that got away,
and listening with enjoyable scepticism to their equally tall stories.

It's good for you...
Both physically and mentally - windsurfing is definitely good for you. Even in the
lightest of winds, windsurfing is a mobile and active enough sport to leave you
pleasantly exhausted at the end of a good day, and usually promotes a sound night's sleep.
Regular windsurfing can keep you in very good shape. It works a lot of major muscle
groups, and you can make it as strenuous as you want - windsurfing at Olympic
level is reckoned to be the most arduous sport in the entire games.
It's good for the head too. You can empty your mind of all other worries
and stresses while you're out on the water; just enjoy the sensations
of being afloat. It's very much a feelgood sport.
