Question:

Sail Boarding?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

My family is interested in trying this. We have all been white water rafting. And my daughter and I are accomplished surfers.

Just how easy is it to pilot one of these boards. They seem to be enlarged surf boards with a sail steering system. Is this difficult to master for someone who is familiar with this genre of sports?

  1. It's not too hard to learn, especially if you have a basic understanding of sailing.  About the hardest part is knowing how to tack into the wind, something you'll need to know.  There's not a whole lot of crossover skill between surfing and sailboarding other than needing a good sense of balance.


  2. It is somewhat like skiing. It takes ankle action, balance and body movement. With surfing , you should pick it up easily. The learning part will be the sailing part, on how to use the wind.
