Take Two
Not only can you windsurf with your friends, you can do it on the same board — tandem boards, like tandem bicycles, take two people for one ride. It’s a great way for a less experienced sailor to experience the thrills of windsurfing.

No Sail Too Small
Even the littlest kids can learn to windsurf — like 3-year-old Finn Lewis, pictured here with a 1-meter sail.

Speed Needs
Windsurfers are the fastest sailing craft in the world. The new world-record holder, Antoine Albeau, set a speed of 49.09 knots over a 500-meter course. Recreational windsurfers often reach speeds of 25-35 mph — faster than most water skiers.
