Hey folks; I just started about 2 months ago; bought a Bic Techno 240D and Chinook 5.5 rig; I have had a lot of fun! Unfortunately I injured myself snow skiing and just got around to getting rotator cuff surgery 2 weeks so I've been taking pain pills, reading about windsurfing, and spending money on things I can't use :)The reading paid off some, I think. I'm hoping I'll get better performance upwind and at higher winds by replacing the stock fin. I bought a new 4?in fin and haven't tried it yet. I did all the riding below on plastic fin :). When I heal up I plan to get some lessons somewhere.
I ordered hoopika masts, a carbon boom, Cheetah 5.5, 7.5, and a Kona Carbone; I'm probably not gonna get wet till March or so unless maybe doing it one handed, wearing a sling, with 5.5 and low wind.
If anyone had used a shoulder immobilizer while windsurfing I'd love to hear about it!
