Hoho!
I wonder how compact windsurfing is these days? I kitesurf but I really quite like windsurfing. Unfortunatley you cannot fit the gear in a car very well (and there is a lot of gear to haul around?) which is probably the main reason I started kitesurfing. 1 board, 9m & 12m kite covers you pretty much from 13 - 30knots. you can steal your mates surfboard if necessary.
I am lurking in windsurfing forums (

) and keep reading about some people talk about using ultrashort boards with a few sails of varying sizes but still same mast and boom. Those boards have hardly any volume and I assume they get waterstarted rather than uphauled.
Anybody got some info on what gear is around and what you need these days? Particularly in the sub 2m department for boards?
