Upgrade my equipment

Posted by amandaorl123 on December 22, 2023, 8:08 am

Hey fellow windsurfers! I'm relatively new to the windsurfing scene and I'm looking to upgrade my equipment. I started with a beginner board and sail, but now I'm eager to take my skills to the next level. I'm curious to know what recommendations you have for intermediate windsurfing gear. Are there specific board and sail combinations that you've found particularly versatile, especially for those looking to progress in both flatwater and wavy conditions? Also, any tips on essential accessories or safety gear I should consider? Thanks a bunch for your insights!

For an intermediate windsurfer like yourself aiming to refine skills in various conditions, consider a board https://easy-surfshop.com/do/cat/windsurf/WINDSURF that offers a balance between stability and maneuverability. Typically, a board in the 120-150-liter range would be suitable. This size provides enough volume for stability while allowing you to progress in more challenging conditions as you advance. Choosing the right sail type depends largely on the wind conditions you frequently encounter. As an intermediate rider, you might want to consider a versatile sail range (e.g., 5.5m to 7.5m) that covers a broad spectrum of wind strengths. Brands like NeilPryde, Severne, and Duotone offer reliable sails known for their performance and durability.
