WINDSURF BOARD
Posted: 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.
