- A thin replacement rope carried on the harness allows you to quickly repair torn ropes on the water.
- Especially when it's cold and your fingers are clammy, a new, thin rope makes threading easier than with a tattered original.
- A replacement rope can also help to temporarily reconnect the board and sail in the event of a torn mast foot tendon.

- Nose damage in windsurfing is usually caused by mast impact; protection is provided by nose protectors or mast deflection systems.
- Nose protectors range from expensive, lightweight carbon bonnets and GRP shells to inexpensive, self-adhesive or clip-on foam solutions.
- Surfbent and Unifibre nose protectors deflect the mast in front of the nose; holding on to the fork can further reduce the consequences of a skid.

- Points are calculated from event results multiplied by the ranking factor; the number of scores per discipline is limited, extras are cancelled.  
- Additional regattas serve as safety regattas to fill slots and replace weak results; early events create a basis, late events optimise with a higher factor.  
- Drivers choose between specialisation and an overall approach; many classifications and high-factor top events such as the IDM on Sylt are decisive for title chances.

- Regeneration is an active process and should be given just as much attention in training as exertion.  
- Gentle yoga exercises such as thread the needle, child's pose, cat-cow and spinal twists promote relaxation and flexibility.  
- The exercises focus on the spine, shoulders and lower back, with conscious breathing and without forced flexibility.
