Hi all, I'm trying to get back into Windsurfing after a twenty year hiatus. Back then I had a big board which I could up haul on, and pretty much mastered the basics; steering, turning, rigging. I recently did a Windsup beginners course at Westlakes and found it a bit tame, but felt good to be back on a board. I do suffer with a bad back and would really like to have another go in more challenging conditions with slightly more challenging equipment, ideally with a harness (which I have never tried before), to see how I pull up afterwards before I go and invest in my own equipment.
So, if anybody could help me out I would really appreciate it, and I'm more than happy to pay for your time and lend of equipment for a few hours. I'm 6ft 5in tall and about 83-84kgs, i live in Seacliff but am happy to travel wherever, cheers.
I don't have a setup that is suitable, but I can lend you a sail and a boom. PM me if you're keen.

Thanks mate, that's really generous of you. If I can get some other gear to go with it I'll get in touch.
Windsup are decent guys and I'm sure if you told them this they could help you out with hire
Thanks for the advice mate, think I'll give them a call to see if they have some intermediate stuff to hire.
Hey Chris. Well done mate. You looked like you were doing really well. Especially in the unexpected wind strength ![]()
