Get ready for a brand-new WindSurfing in 2010 as we unveil our completely redesigned magazine in the April issue. From the cover to Cutbacks, WindSurfing has been updated with a clean, modern look that’s jam-packed with all the latest on windsurfing equipment, instruction, travel and more.
The new look starts on the cover where the old WindSurfing logo has been replaced with a slick new one that opens up even more room for incredible imagery. Then, our new Sessions department gathers up the best bits ‘n pieces from the windsurfing world and shapes them into an easy-to-digest format that lets you dig in the second you pick up the mag.
From there, you’ll move onto our features, which have been redesigned to provide more content in the same number of pages. More topics, more places, more gear, and of course, Hot Shots. You’ll also be stoked with our new no-holds-barred board tests before getting your learn on in our Schooled department. Finally, wrap it up Sanford-style with a new-school Cutbacks that you’ll still love (or love to hate.)
The all-new April issue of WindSurfing should be hitting your mailboxes in about three weeks. If you’re not a subscriber, sign up for a free trial issue here or look for it on newsstands February 9. Aloha! — Josh Sampiero, Editor

I am hopeful that the magazine redesign means that Sanford is no longer writing Cutbacks on the back page. I hope that he has been put to work on real articles, where he is an asset. I hope the back page is now being used for cool or funny photos, like other magazines. Cutbacks with Sanford is worthless, antiquated, irritating and, frankly, embarrassing (makes windsurfers look like kooks).
A look at the slide show above shows that 'Windsurfing' editorial didn't have the guts to give Sanford his retirement package–they're still stuck in the '80s. Guys, with that mentality, you'll never expand the sport/magazine the way 'Surfing' and 'Kiteboarding' already do–those mags are on every newsstand I see, even in Midwest/Mountain states.
If that's Cutbacks up there in the preview, it sure looks a lot different to me.
Windsurfers, by and large, ARE kooks. It takes a certain level of maturity to acknowledge that
Stuck in the 80's??? Like back when windsurfing was popular? And that is bad how???
I'm hopeful if there is any 'bonus cverage' this year it willl actually be on the website.
Yes! It will be!
I agree with Chris. Sanford's travel articles and photos are fine and I'd like to see more of that from him, but his Cutbacks just aren't funny. Makes you wonder if he has some blackmail material on the publisher or editors!
Josh and crew, this really looks incredible. BIg time!
Personal passion on display, Sampiero you are the real deal.
Lets see meaningful bonus coverage on the web to enhance the "more stuff in the same amount of pages".
Looks incredible. Really needed a more updated look…
I've been a magazine subscriber for many years and I'd like to see an article one day about windsurfers submitting some photos or suggestions on how many ways you can store or hang your rigged sails and board protected from the elements, whether they live waterfront in a lake, river or not. I've seen the typical shed at Velas' outfits and in Bonaire but would like to see some of private homeowners' designs. Thanks.

Josh gets the award of the day for going out in baggies and a rash guard and somehow not getting hypothermia! Meanwhile, I ditched the gloves and hood for the first time since December and was rewarded with an ice cream headache after every dunking!
