TOPIC: Help to windsurf

Help to windsurf 3 years 7 months ago #1

Hello,

I'm an exchange student and I love windsurfing.
I live in centralia and I asked me if it existed a place to rent some windsurf material not so far from Centralia?

Thanks in advance,
Louis

I was given a Mistral Flow sometime back and I don't use it so if you can come up with a rig you can have the board to use while you are here. I just ask that you pass it on to someone that will use it or give it back to me so I can pass it on again before you go back home.

Welcome, Louis!

You won't find any rental. What you can try to do is put together a kit from used gear for sale. Search for gear in the Windsurfing Gear forum here. Look for the red price tag icons. There's several pages.

I hope we can get you on the water. You're only 20 minutes from Lake Carlyle, and 45 minutes away from Rend Lake. What is your skill level? What size board and sails were you windsurfing in your home country?

Thank you for your help, I'm not going to buy new stuff here.
Unfortunatly It will be too difficult to find everything in low price.
Otherwise, I'm full straps planing, jibe, water-start, beachstart,..
I like sailing with between 100 and 140 L board and 4- 8 Meters sails.

If you don't have a wetsuit then you probably won't be able to sail anyway until late next spring. I have the Mistral flow available anyway if you are interested, but you still would need to spend the money you would on a rental to get a wetsuit and the rest of the gear used.
