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 camaraderie. No sport other than windsurfing can give you 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 uncharted waters alone. A windsurfer has virtually unlimited access to the nation's waterways. Of course, maybe you've heard some of the common misconceptions about windsurfing .
Some people say windsurfing is hard to learn.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The only time windsurfing is difficult to learn is when people try to learn on the wrong equipment in the wrong conditions. With the right equipment, most people are comfortably sailing around after a two-hour lesson. Others say you need to be strong to windsurf. Windsurfing is like golf when it comes to strength.
