Do I really need to loosen on hot days if the board is in the Sun either on a car or beach? Never want to forget to close it, and would prefer never touching. At what temperature may it be a concern ... |

Thanks for all your responses. I went to windward boardshop after finding out they do have some suits after getting out of the windsurfing biz and tried on an O'Neill 4/3 heat. Fit great, 10 x more f ... |

Need a new suit. Been using an old scuba short arm 2 or 3 mm. I hear windsurfing specific suits will be a dream compared. Probably wont go out in air colder than 60 F, but water could still be in ... |

How do I determine the correct length to order for any given board? Should it stick out of the powerbox an exact amount? I assume it's the board size/make and not the fin size that matters. Thanks ... |

I am used to 64 cm wide board 272 long, 118 liters. If you had to guess, how much more stable would a modern freeride board of the same 118 liters "feel" that was 72 cm wide for uphauling a ... |

I appreciate the encouragement about being 50, but I know my physical limitations as a windsurfer. 300+ miles of fetch and 3 days worth of 30 knot N.E. winds is for expert wave sailers. Not me. The ... |

It's a fairly heavily used site in the Summer. I am one of the safest guys out there. One of the few who uses a helmet on the (flatter) S. W. winds. The S.W. winds are offshore, very gusty and wort ... |
