Xavier Thoma Is An Avid Windsurfer

Windsurfing is a popular water sport that combines disciplines of sailing and surfing. Windsurfing consists of balance a freely rigged sail atop a 2 to 3 meter long board, powered by orthogonal effects of wind on sail. To become a skilled windsurfer, one should first understand the basics of surfing and sailing.

He/she should have the knowledge of how the sails work, as well as how to work with wind to achieve goals, for example, a particular destination or speed. Standing on the board requires a great sense of balance and experience with water, as sailboard may easily get out of control.

In addition, a windsurfer should be an avid swimmer so that he/she is well-prepared for any kind of accident. A variation of windsurfing is called kite surfing in which a person uses aerofoil instead of fixed mast and sail. In this type of water sport, the kitesurfer can reach very high speed, and reach remote areas that are not accessible to conventional surfers bound by depth of water.

There are some safety measures that windsurfers should take before windsurfing. He/she should conduct thorough check of sail and surfboard for any cracks or damages that may cause problems while sailing. Beginners can start indoors with basics, eventually moving to the rivers, bays, lakes and then the open ocean.

They can learn from experienced instructors who have thorough knowledge of various sailing and surfing practices.
