Windsurfing
❤️ Cruising over the water
Windsurfing is one of the most popular sea sports, combining sea and wind as tools at the beautiful beaches around the world. The practice of windsurfing is simply controlling the wind while you are balancing yourself on the water. A windsurfing board is usually 2 to 2.5 meters with a sail called rig connected to it which can move to all directions. The size of the sail changes depending on the windsurfing area and the skills of a windsurfer. It can seem hard at first but it is actually easy to grasp with good windsurfing training. Nowadays, there are many windsurfing schools you can find easily.
Windsurfing is a combination of surfing and sailing, and is known to be created first in 1948 by Newman Darby. In 1968 in California, Henry Hoyle Schweitzer and Jim Drake worked on windsurfing and developed this sport to what we know today. Windsurfing is really popular nowadays and you can see many windsurfers in the summer season on most of the beaches around the world.
