Hi, I am keen to get into windsurfing and would like some advice on a good second hand set up to get, (i'm a 15 1/2 yea old weighing 85kg). However i'm on a bit of a budget :/ with around $700-800 being it upper limit, I have looked at the second hand boards here that are 120L+ and they are all quite expensive and it just the board as well. My father did suggest that we could make a board (he's had some experience making sailing dinghies), does anyone know where I could buy some plans for a 120L+ board around 240cm long? Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks!

I'm sure there is plenty of kit out there that will gladly be donated for a reasonable price to get you up and going.
Wot the pirate said!
I have found windsurfers to be pretty generous with thier superceded gear, and plenty of them are happy to help out beginners.
Giving away or offloading un-needed gear also means more space for new stuff ![]()
