Just read a post in the windsurfing wanted section, don't know him but I though it would be awesome to help, I believe in Karma yo ...

This kid is 16, has $300, and wants to windsurf.Never done it before

I have some sails to give, and maybe a boom,

Any help with gear and lessons, post it,

See how awesome you think you are,

Where does this dude want to sail? I got a full second rig (all 2010 gear, 85% powerex RDM + 5.7m SWAT) that he's more then welcome to have a loan of if he's sailing where I am. Happy to give pointers, as I'm sure are most windsurfers around here.

Don't have a spare board thou.

Wello??? Man, you're in the perfect spot... windsurfing will change your life.

Guys, let's hope we can get him something newer that's shorter and wider... not like the old thin and long boards...

i have a board i can give you... it's 3 meters long but still pretty thin. and it weighs like 4 tons. You can have it, but don't want it to put you off windsurfing... it's ugly as hell too.

ha ha
