Buying advice: Freeride, freemove or freerace - which board type is right for you?
Freeride, freemove or freerace - which board type makes sense for windsurfing? In the following clip, we explain the differences in shape, equipment and target group.

There are countless models from different brands on the windsurfing market. Before choosing a specific model, the first question is which board type makes sense for your personal requirements. Flat water surfers in particular have three classes to choose from with boards of the Freeride, Freemove and Freerace types, which - if you believe the manufacturers - are suitable for flat water.

To help you find your way through the material jungle, the following video provides an overview of board type selection. We explain how the boards differ in terms of outlines, strap positions, underwater hull and fin set-up.
