Windsurfing

From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change

Windsurfing is a water sport played above water. It uses a large board run by the driver with a sail. By pulling on the sail the boat will turn in the water. The sport is a combination of surfing and sailing. Windsurfers can travel on either flat or rough water as long as there is wind about. Windsurfing is done a lot in the summer and spring, as are almost all water sports. Windsurfing is an easy form of surfing.

Surfers that want to get more experience and people that have a love for surfing use windsurfing. People surf most when there are no waves big enough for them to surf normally. Surfing sails come in many different sizes with the strength needed to control the larger sails. The smaller sails are used for going faster as they have less material to cut through the wind. Racing windsails are smaller and can range in thickness depending on the materials. Another sport to surfing or windsurfing is kite surfing. All three of these sports have boards that range in size and price, but all need a lot of practice to be mastered. There are many sporting places around the world that people travel to just to go surfing. Some of the best places are in the United States, Hawaii, and Indonesia.
