WINDSURF BOARD

Post by aukepalmhof » Sun Jan 30, 2011 8:25 pm

Windsurfing is a water sport invented in the U.K. by Peter Chilvers in 1958 on Hayling Island Hampshire. It is done on a large board with a sail. The sail helps the board change directions. The sport is a combination of surfing and sailing. Windsurfers can travel on either flat or rough water, as long as there is wind. Windsurfing is done a lot in the summer and spring, as are almost all water sports. There are also competitions which can be freestyle or racing around buoys. Windsurfing features in the Olympics.
Windsurfing sails come in many different sizes. The larger the sails are, the more strength is needed to control them but the more power is given to go faster. The different sizes of board affect speed also the thinner the board the faster you will go. They can range in thickness depending on the materials. Another sport similar to surfing or windsurfing is kite surfing. All three of these sports have boards that range in size and price, but all need much practice to be done well. There are many sporting places around the world that people travel to just to go surfing. Some of the best places are in the west coast of the United States, Hawaii, Australia, and Indonesia.

Centennial games sailboarding.

In the four years between the 1992 and 1996 games, the sport of Olympic yachting underwent rapid changes both in style and format. Gone were the courses which allowed competitors to spread out – sometimes miles apart. As a result, participants now compete on tightly angled triangular or trapezoid-shaped courses, performing a series of loops around inflatable marker buoys. Success in these shorter races depends on a strong start, good acceleration, consistent speed, and sharp tactical skills.

New for the 1996 Olympic Games, these courses set the scene for some stiff competition, but nowhere more so than in the boardsailing event. The introduction of unlimited “pumping” or fanning of the sail, which increases speed substantially, turned the competition into a battle of aerobic fitness, as well as sailing skill.

Men’s boardsailing was first introduced in 1984, and in 1992, women’s boardsailing made its debut. Competitors use a sailboard – a “surfboard” with a mast and sail. Controlling the rig with the arms and steering from a standing position with body weight and movement, the athlete becomes an integral part of the craft. Each nation selects only one entrant and all equipment (board and rig) is supplied by the organizing
