Wind-Surfing tips about gear?

Question

I live in Florida, and there's not alot of sailing gustfull gales filling the sails of much of anything...nor are there alot of waves-I've heard tales of awsome waves when the hurricanes hit. But that was only when Ivin hit.

I have next to no idea about windsurfing, just tired of rolling around on the ground alone ya know? So I was wondering what type of sail and boards do what fucntions, I'm not looking for tricks, just something that moves and the very bleak oceany waters we call our beach, I really want to know wtf is up with the sail types, which do I need? Anyone have any tips, advice, websites to learn form, anything would be nice, thanks.

Answer 1

While I think windsurfing may be a great alternative for folks who live on lakes and such, it is not SURFING. Try water sports yahoo Questions, because most surfers have a degree of disdain for windsurfing.
