• Windsurfing is a popular water sport that
  combines disciplines of sailing and surfing.
  Windsurfing consists of balance a freely rigged
  sail atop a 2 to 3 meter long board, powered by
  orthogonal effects of wind on sail. To become a
  skilled windsurfer, one should first understand
  the basics of surfing and sailing.

• He/she should have the knowledge of how the sails
  work, as well as how to work with wind to achieve
  goals, for example, a particular destination or
  speed. Standing on the board requires a great
  sense of balance and experience with water, as
  sailboard may easily get out of control.

• In addition, a windsurfer should be an avid
  swimmer so that he/she is well-prepared for any
  kind of accident. A variation of windsurfing is
  called kite surfing in which a person uses
  aerofoil instead of fixed mast and sail. In this
  type of water sport, the kitesurfer can reach
  very high speed, and reach remote areas that are
  not accessible to conventional surfers bound by
  depth of water.

• There are some safety measures that windsurfers
  should take before windsurfing. He/she should
  conduct thorough check of sail and surfboard for
  any cracks or damages that may cause problems
  while sailing. Beginners can start indoors with
  basics, eventually moving to the rivers, bays,
  lakes and then the open ocean.
