Buying advice WindSUP
Every day on the water is a good day" - this quote comes from none other than Robby Naish. Now, the vast majority of windsurfers in this country won't have nearly as many "good days" as Robby Naish, even with the greatest effort, but the bottom line is that there is hardly a board class that can be used as often as windSUPs. In calm conditions, you can paddle across the nearest lake or use it as a bathing island for the kids and, when fitted with a sail, it becomes a great light wind board for cruising and tricks. A positive side effect is that it gives you the necessary fitness and plenty of board and sail control for the next day with a gliding wind.
Stand up paddle boards (SUP) are now sold in virtually every DIY store and sometimes even at discount stores. Of course, the established brands also offer a wide range of models.
