Our standard equipment is meant for 75% of our riders. Unless you are an advanced rider, standard gear is the way to go. First-timers will usually always start on a “205” size board with a smaller sail to help them gain better understanding and control. Keep in mind that just a little wind is enough and actually better to learn, windier conditions are great for riders with basic knowledge already.

Our performance equipment is meant for advanced riders. Beginners and intermediates will have a difficult time attempting to stay up and ride on a performance board. However, more experienced riders are sure to have a blast windsurfing at our facility, all of our gear is in great condition! Keep in mind that once you choose a performance monofilm sail, it will be rated as performance gear no matter if you decide to use a standard board instead.
