Windsurf

Windsurfing is a popular water sport that involves riding a surfboard with a sail and using the wind to propel you forward. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced windsurfer, the right equipment and knowledge of the different disciplines are essential for a successful experience on the water. In this text, we cover everything you need to know about windsurfing, from the equipment needed to the different disciplines and the top brands that offer the best windsurfing products in our windsurf store.

What is windsurfing?

Windsurfing is a water sport in which you use the wind to sail on a surfboard with a sail. The sail is controlled by a boom. Windsurfing is popular on many Dutch waters, making it one of the most accessible water sports in the Netherlands. By combining sailing and surfing, windsurfing offers a unique experience that is challenging for water sports enthusiasts of all levels. Think of different disciplines such as slalom, freestyle, and wave, where windsurfers adapt to different conditions such as flat water, waves, and high wind speeds.

Different disciplines in windsurfing

There are several disciplines within windsurfing, each with its own unique characteristics. The best known disciplines are freestyle, slalom, wave, speed, and foils. Freestyle is all about spectacular tricks and jumps, where surfers show off their skills and creativity. Slalom is a speed discipline where windsurfers race between buoys, requiring a combination of speed and agility. Wave focuses on surfing waves and requires strong skills to face the power of the sea. Speed is entirely about achieving maximum speeds on the water. Foils use a hydrofoil to float above the surface of the water, adding a new dimension to windsurfing. These disciplines offer a wide range of challenge and fun for windsurfers of all levels.

What do you need to windsurf?

For windsurfing, you need the right basic equipment: a windsurfing board, surf sail, boom, mast, baseplate and some accessories such as a wetsuit, trapeze and fins. Choosing the right equipment depends on your level and the discipline you want to practice. Beginners usually benefit from a more stable board and a smaller sail, while advanced windsurfers choose specialized equipment that suits their specific discipline, such as slalom or wave. Our experts in the store can help you make the right choice.

Windsurfboard

In our windsurf store we have a wide range of windsurfboards from top brands such as Severne, Starboard, Goya and FMX. We offer boards for both beginners and advanced windsurfers, and for different disciplines such as slalom, freeride, freerace and beginner boards. We also have inflatable windsurf boards that are easy to transport and store. A good windsurfing board is crucial to your performance and enjoyment on the water, and our range ensures that you will always find a board that fits your needs perfectly. Whether you want to cruise on flat water or reach high speeds, we have the right boards for you.

Windsurf sail

As with windsurf boards, we offer sails from top brands such as Goya and Severne. Our range includes sails for different levels and disciplines, so you can always find the right sail for your needs. Smaller sails are ideal for beginners or for wind surfing at high wind speeds, while larger sails offer more power and speed. The right sail size and shape can make a big difference in your windsurfing experience, allowing you to sail more efficiently and with more control. Our range includes sails for various wind conditions, from light winds to strong winds.

Windsurfing masts

We offer carbon masts with low and high percentage carbon. These masts are available in two diameters: Standard Diameter Mast (SDM) and Reduced Diameter Mast (RDM). The more carbon your mast contains, the higher the performance you can get out of your mast. SDM masts are thicker and more robust, ideal for disciplines such as slalom and freeride. RDM masts are thinner and lighter, making them perfect for wave and freestyle. The right mast ensures optimal rigging and increases the efficiency of your sail.

Booms

Our store offers a wide range of booms, varying in material and size, to meet the needs of every windsurfer. A good boom provides better control and performance of your sail, which is essential for a good windsurfing experience. We have booms to fit different sail sizes and disciplines, so you can always make the right choice. Whether you are looking for adjustable booms or more specific models for certain disciplines, we have it all.

Parts and accessories

In addition to basic equipment, we also carry a wide range of parts and accessories such as fins, trapezes, footstraps, wetsuits, and more. These accessories can enhance your windsurfing experience and are essential for complete gear. Whether you're looking for a new fin for better stability or a wetsuit for extra warmth, we have everything you need to make the most of your time on the water.
