Re: [Windsurfer] Introduction to me and my love of windsurfing

Big questions;
Where do you want to sail? As in location example near Sf Bay
Then
Ocean <-- Open Large Rolling Sea
Ocean <-- Bay Flat Speed Sailing <-- What I like
Ocean <-- Racing
Ocean <-- Waves <GRIN>

Then the not so easy to put questions
How large or small are you?
How far do you want to go in windsurfing?

Hi! I'm here to talk about windsurfing, I really love the sport and
I'm planning on getting on the water a lot more this summer than I
have in the past.
I'm looking to buy a used board and sail, I have an old 1980's
Mistral, but the board has a crack in it and it's 12ft long! I'm
guessing that ocean windsurfing is a lot different than on a lake.
I've never been on the ocean but I plan on it. would a smaller board
be more manageable on the ocean! I appreciate feedback and
conversation thanks!!!
i know there are 365 other members, c'mon!!!! talk to me!!!

Karlton, To answer your 'Big' question: I'd like to first get comfortable windsurfing in a bay, I think. I love the speed, a little nervous around the waves...
