Important factors to consider when buying a windsurf board. When buying a windsurf board, you have to be very clear about the type of windsurfing you want to practice, this will depend on your level and conditions in which you are going to sail. There are different types of windsurfing boards, depending on the modality you are going to do. Next, I will try to explain what types of tables best suit your needs. Follow this easy-surfshop.com to get more ideas to buy a board. In the learning phase it would be good to have had a minimum of experience practicing windsurfing (to have done a course), otherwise we recommend an initiation course to learn the basics.
In this phase the type of table you need in a starter table. It will be your first board, Congratulations! Initiation Table The most important thing to consider when buying your first windsurf board is volume. We recommend between 120l to 180l depending on your weight. Freeride board When you have passed the initiation phase you will realize that you want to sail with stronger wind and be faster. You will be planning, you will already use the harness and you will be in love with this sport. You will be improving the jibe, the tack, waterstart ... It is time to choose a board that gives you new sensations that will take you to other levels in the world of windsurfing. In this phase we must take into account where we navigate. A place with a very strong wind is not the same as a place with weaker wind. In general, at this stage you will feel comfortable with medium wind, so you will need more sail and decrease liters. Wave, freestyle wave or freewave board. They are boards for stronger winds and radical conditions, jumping, surfing ... you need a board with fewer liters and in a way that better adapts to these types of conditions. We will move in tables between 67l to 114l (depending on our weight and intensity of the wind). We must also give importance to the breadth of the table, to simplify, we focus on the volume. Freestyle boards They are shorter and wider boards with more volume in the middle and back. They are specific for freestyle. They have a flat rocket which makes them glide very fast and thanks to their new shapes they turn spectacularly well on themselves. I personally find them hilarious. Slalom boards If you want to go full speed and you have the motivation and skill to keep one of these boards past sailing, then you need a Slalom board. Slalom boards are designed for running. The position of the footsptraps are at the ends. According to the wind speed we will choose the volume. In this type of board, the width (sleeve) must be given great importance. If you are a radical fan and you do slalom championships you may have up to three boards.
