Collection: Windsurfing

Rig sizing

On the Sunshine Coast seabreeze, a 5.0 to 6.0 covers most afternoons for an average-weight sailor, with a bigger rig for the lighter days. Sail size matters more than board size once you are planing, and the mast has to match the sail's bend curve — a mismatched mast makes a good sail feel dead.

Boards

Freeride boards are wide, early-planing and forgiving. Wave boards are shorter and want more wind. Foil boards are a different thing again. If you are coming back to windsurfing after some years away, the gear has changed enough that it is worth a conversation before you buy.

Ordering

Most of the windsurf range is ordered in rather than held on the shelf — usually about a week. Tell us what you are sailing now and we will make sure the mast, base and extension all match.

Still weighing it up? Ring the shop on (07) 5309 6624 or come into Cotton Tree. We ride this gear here, and we would rather spend ten minutes getting you on the right thing than sell you the dearest one on the page.
