Hello

I think I have a Bic Allegro or a copy of this Bic Allegro because it is around 3 meters long and it depicts the same woman and pictures of the picture mentioned somewhere in another thread of this forum although i have read the word "replica" somewhere on my board.

Even though I have already windsurfed a bunch of times, around 20 or so, on 180 liters boards on the sea with not very quiet water, I was able only 2 or 3 times to beach start on these boards but I still did not get to learn it well. The thing is I recenty got this Bic board and I tried to stand up and pull the sail afterwards but it was very hard to keep the balance even if the waves were really small. Whenever a little wave got close, I would fall on the water. That is why I thought this board is only useful for people who already can waterstart.

I wonder now: considering I still cannot even beach start, do you think I could learn on my own how to beach start and later waterstart by using a board such as the Allegro Bic if I had enough patience on the sea shore considering I chose a quiet spot and I have already seen a couple of video tutorials about it? The sail I have is 4.75 meters and it is also kind of heavy to pull compared to the 4.2 or4.5 meters sails that I had used so far.

Thanks a lot for your advices and suggestions in advance.
