Answer 1

Being physically fit is a key to success. A great sense of balance is helpful. Move to Hood River Oregon and surf with the best.

Answer 2

Windsurfing requires decent balance and leverage.  Those who say you have to be really strong to hoist the sail out of the water would be served by learning a little physics.  A working knowledge of sailing theory is a plus.  Know how and where you can catch the wind in your sail to allow you to navigate to where you want to go.  I would suggest trying to find a local windsurfing class.  They will teach you the basics on a trainer before you get on the water.  I've seen lots of folks who could hoist the sail up and catch the wind but could only go one direction because they never learned how to tack correctly.  They couldn't return to shore and I had to swim out and sail them back to shore.  Local book stores should have books on how to sail one, a class will give you the necessary hands on training to make it enjoyable your first time out.  Good luck, it is a lot of fun.
