 |
|
| I am a relative beginner, but am an experienced sailor and plan on windsurfing alot to get better fast. I am looking at purchasing secondhand board & sails. The boards are Berky, a 9'6" slalom board plus an 8'2" aeorsppon and sails of various sizes from 5.5 to 7.0. Any suggestions if these are a good option for my weight and relative experience would be greatly appreciated! |

Get bigger boards. Bypassing one's learning curve is a recipe for failure. And those two sails ... the 5.5 and the 7.0 ... are good enough; those "various" others complicate the process unnecessarily.
