READY, STEADY, GO !!!

Have U ever thought "I want to start wsurfing, but I don't even know what I need?". Seek no further, because U will get all your anwers here :)
First of all, most of people think that wsurfing requires a great amount of physical strenght, that they are not in a good shape, so they end up giving up before they even start - don't do that mistake! Belive me, wsurfing is 80% about technique, and only 20% about strenght. You should keep one thing in mind - technique gets better only by practicing!
When you finally decide to do it, here is the list of items you need:
-a board - comes in different sizes (volumes - ltr)
-a rig - consists of sail, boom and mast.
Beginners equipment is something you will use only at the very start, and as you progress in skill level, you will overgrow it very soon. At this stage, the board is usually bigger, the sail is smaller and made of more durable materials.
Most of wsurfers have more boards and sails in their collection, because each size is designed to optimize the utilisation of certain wsurfers skill level and weather conditions (wave size, wind power).

I personally, learned wsurfing myself, but it's much faster and much more fun if you do it with someone who can teach you. The most important thing is NOT TO GIVE UP! Belive me, it gets better and better with each session you do. In the beginning, aim for lightwind conditions. Your first goals should be to learn how to get on the board, how to raise the rig out of the water, how to "make a turn", and how to get back to the place at the coast you started from. This phase will probably take no more than a couple of days, depending on the wind and equipment conditions, and naturally, your teacher :)
