From another question, wanted to pry some minds to get an idea of this sport. I'm 6'3" 165lbs. What all will I need to get into it? I live 45 minutes from the gulf, so used gear shouldn't be hard to find. Just like a small list and any advice or reading I could do to speed the learning curve. Just want to add in again, due to some recent health issues my stamina and strength isn't the best.
One thing I was really wondering about. If you have a big board, can you windsurf in the surf? I spend almost every weekend at the beach, mostly surf side. I know you'd have to pick your days, but wanted opinions. There's also a very large bay that's usually very calm for me to learn in.
Originally, I was thinking about getting a small sailboat..but I think that'd be way too expensive and be too much for me to work with solo.
