Hello All,
I just joined yesterday and know very little about windsurfing. I travel for work and on a couple different trips this year, I had the opportunity to try windsurfing minus any instruction. After an hour of falling and sailing down wind, I finally figured out how to sail back up the beach(I didn't have to do the walk of shame like the fellow first time sailor who used the gear before me). I would consider myself very much a beginner that can navigate in relatively easy conditions.
I've been trying to find some used equipment online but just read the info for beginners on this site. The part that says don't buy someone else junk especially if its more than 5yrs old has virtually eliminated anything on ksl or craigslist. I have a young family that is very active, triathlons, mountain bike racing, ultra marathons and lots of skiing. The buy in costs for new gear is unfortunately not in the budget which is the reason I hoped to go used.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and am open for any suggestions on gear, etc. I live in park city so the Jordanelle is the closest lake, any thoughts on learning there? I also read that there is get together/learning seminar in the spring which I will plan on attending next year.
Thank you for any help and advice you could pass along,
Pete
