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

I wave sail in Florida... I have an 8.8 semi floater bump/jump for 15 to 25
knots
for small wave days... & a 8.1 glass/poly sinker custom wave board for 20 knots
plus for medium to larger waves... Sailed all of the Tropical/Hurricanes last
season...
I use wave sails 5.8 down to 3.0.... My weight is 165 lbs...

hope that helps,
john

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...
