Windsurfing is a surface water sport that combines elements of surfing and sailing. It consists of a board usually two and a half to three meters long to three meters long, with displacements typically between 60 to 250 liters, powered by the wind on a sail. The rig is connected to the board by a free-rotating universal joint and consists of a mast, two-sided boom, and sail.
