It is important to warm up before going out. This video shows how it's done....

Thanks for that George. What board are you riding there.
7'6" soft top with custom PVC fins
I'm gonna go for a sail in 2 hours, better start my warm up routine now - should just make it onto the water on time 
I find that I'm warmed up enough after loading the gear onto the racks...drive like a maniac to get to where I'm sailing - unload gear - rush to rig up (downhauling is a good stretch), placing my muscles and limbs in some extreme positions in order to get a tight wettie on and finally the run to the water carrying board and sail with opposing wind.
I don't need to do any other warm-up. The warm-down of course comes in a brown bottle and is a simple elbow bend. 
In a word,
"Substance abuse"
PS: You've heard of "land sailing". This is just the surfing equivalent
