I did a little "search Jong", but only came across a couple old threads.
Since I am imprisoned in the Midwest, there aren't a lot of good breaks here. Lots of lakes, but not much surf. I haven't tried (and failed) to windsurf since about 1987. It would seem that the gear has come a long way since then, much like ski gear. Hopefully that would mean a faster learning curve as well. I have never surfed either, but find myself watching surf porn a lot, and it has always stirred something (other than a fear of sharks) in me.
I spent a lot of time in high school water-skiing and knee-boarding any chance we got, so I'm no stranger to water sports. I used to really like flat water kayaking too, but it just got kinda boring, and really a lot of work.
So...I'm looking for some summer stoke. I thought that windsurfing might be an interesting way of looking at things. We have one of the biggest windsurfing shops in the US here in the Twin Cities, so getting a hold of equipment won't be too hard.
So I plan to take some lessons of course. Any suggestions for learning this stuff? Any gear pointers I should consider? Do's & don'ts?
Thanks for any insight.
