I just moved to Manhattan last year. No car, no gear. If I want to windsurf, is there somewhere I can rent and launch without having to rent a car just to windsurf?

Any info. will help. Thanks

I just moved to San Francisco from NY a few months ago. I used to take the LIRR train out to Amagansett (couple hours) then get a taxi over to Napeague Harbor. There was a guy renting boards right by the beach.

If you have less time than 2 hours train ride and taxi, you can also take a train to Norwalk CT, take a taxi to the Norwalk sailing school and they have rental gear at reasonable prices. The whole trip should be about 60 mins. Call information to find out prices. The rental gear looks OK but not the newest latest stuff.
Good look. Cheers.
