Nearest windsurf store is mine in Belize on Caye Caulker. The sailing is a lot better than Cancun. Gear is cheap in my store.

I'm sure keycockers' place is great, but I suspect there is some where over there in the Cancun area--if you looked at the link above, they're having the nationals in Cancun this year, I know there's windsurfing in the area, so I expect there's a shop or two around there somewhere. Maybe email someone on that link ?

There is a guy on a beach with some gear in his yard, but hardly rents because the wind is not consistent and there are few takers.Nice guy but he has had to do too many rescues from the wind dropping so he is reluctant to rent. He is in Playa.
There are sailors in the Yucatan but just a lack of rentals.
