The assembly of a windsurfing kit involves assembling the board and rig according to the instructions provided in the kit’s assembly manual. Ensure there is no sand in the mast step hole before inserting the mast base. Lock the rig in place and walk the entire rig out to waist-deep water. Arrange the board so it is pointing in the direction you wish to sail.
For beginners, the Windjammers boardsailing short course offers a basic yet perfect introduction to choosing the perfect beginner windsurf board. The Windjammers booklet provides essential tips for choosing the right board and starting your windsurfing journey.
The kit is divided into two parts: the board and the rig. The board is the surfboard-like part you stand on and has one or more fins. The complete guide to windsurfing boards by PWA sailor Sean OBrien covers all types of windsurfing boards styles, their anatomy, and essential components.
There are three main parts to setting up the board: setting up the mast and sail, installing the fin, and attaching the mast to the board. Gather the mast, boom, and sail, and ensure the mast length is shorter than the luff length.
In conclusion, setting up a windsurfing kit involves assembling the board, ensuring it is pointing in the desired direction, and avoiding common errors.
