How to attach the mast to the windsurfer board?

Questions about buying windsurfers?

  • I am new to buying a windsurfer and am wondering if , if you buy a board do you get a fin? if you buy a sail do you get a mast? if you buy a sail do you get a boom? if you buy a mast do you get a thing to put it in the board? thank you for looking at my questions any answers will help.

  • Answer:

    If you buy a complete package you will get everything, but most people buy the bits individually. The reason being :- 1) Fins break, and certain fin sizes and shapes are for certain disciplines. 2) You will need more than 1 sail. 3) You could get away with a variable length boom but if the wind is up and down you're better off with 2 rigs set up on the beach, therefore you will need 2 booms. 4) Like wise with masts 5) You will need a mast foot for every mast you have (or plan on using) but only 1 deck plate (which attaches the mast foot to the board) Hope this helps :o)

Sean is correct that most components are sold individually. I recommend you take a lesson from a reputable shop and buy a complete rig afterwards. Do not buy a used board and rig with no experience. If you like windsurfing after the lesson, get a beginner board that has a retractable daggerboard and a small sail that is less than 5m. The shop will guide you with all the components you need. As you improve you may go to bigger sails and different boards. Most important, have fun doing it!

Two answers: (1)Visit a windsurfer sales outlet. A salesman will answer all your questions. (2) Take a lesson from a certified instructor. The choice of board and sail will depend on your skill and local conditions. Most boarders have one board and many sails.
