What is windsurfing-?

The best sport in the world! There are long boards and short boards. I prefer a long board because the wind in my area isn't that plentiful. Windsurfing is like surfing but you have a sail for propellent, so you don't need big waves but with big waves it is a lot funner. the bigger the wind the better!


Can you learn to surf on a windsurfing board without a sail?

No, not to my knowledge. It is necissary to have a sail to learn how to windsurf properly. The sail IS windsurfing. You can SURF in breaking waves on a sailboard with no sail. Several companies are making windsurfing long-boards that let you do this. Some windsurfing short-boards are designed directly after surfing short-boards. Many windsurfers actively sail in surf and literally surf on the wave face, and hence is called waveriding. A surfboard should have a surf rocker that matches the angle/gradient of the wave face. Most windsurf boards are designed for sailing and have a rocker designed for performance and efficientcy with sail power. Windsurfers are typically "planing" when sailing, not "surfing". Both are a condition that occurs when the board reaches a certain velocity and lifts out of the water to travel, but "surfing" is done mainly with the aid of gravity on the wave face.
