Equipment

Question
Hi there. I'm brand new to windsurfing. Tried it briefly and fell in love. Planning on taking lessons and shopping around for a used package. Would appreciate advice on sizes etc. I'm 6' 185lbs. Will be windsurfing in Barrie, Ontario. I'd say 10-I'm winds.
I'm a quick learner and want to purchase something I won't soon become bored with. Thanks so much.

Answer
Look for a board in the 150 to 160 liter range.  This will be a good board to start. It is a little advanced but you will grow with it and it will become your low wind board once you progress and want to sail in higher winds.  At that point you will probably want a smaller board for higher winds.  I would recommend a sail around 7 meters to start.  That is a big sail but you said you are a quick learner so that size will be useful to you forever as your low wind sail.  Good Luck and good Wind!!!
