Question
Hi,
I am over 250 pounds but am strong. Have good stamina in swimming lond distances. Can I opt to learn Windsurfing. Are there surf boards that can carry weight of my kind.

Answer
Hey Siram,
There are plenty of folks your size and larger that windsurf. Any beginner type board will float you just fine for learning. Just look for something with high volume. After you get all the basics down and are ready for a more advanced board, you will be sailing on something with a bit more volume than others. You will probably be on a bit larger sail than others also. Here is a website that will give you plenty of info on boards and such. www.windsurfmag.com Check out equipment and instruction.
Hope this helps,
Best of luck learning. It is a great sport.
