About Patrick Dean
Expertise
Windsurfing expert. 20+ years windsurfing experience. I can give advice about learning to windsurf, the best places to learn and the best equipment to learn on. I can also offer advice on what equipment to purchase based on your skill level, weight and sailing location. Ask me before you buy. The boards made in the last 5 or 6 years are so much easier to sail and learn on. An advance word of advice: stay away from buying old boards unless you know exactly what you are buying and know that all parts are there. I get so many questions about how to set up old boards that usually end up being broken or missing parts and it is impossible to buy parts for these old boards. Try not to buy a board that is more than 5 or 6 years old. As boards age they begin to absorb water. Once that occurs the board is toast and it happens with a lot of boards over 10 years old. When you ask questions, please let me know what part of the world you are from so I can tailor the advice to your location.

Experience
I have been windsurfing for 20 years.

Subject: How to set up my gear

Question
Hi, I recently bought a windsurfer (all gear) from a friend, and have no idea how to set it up (what gets tied to what..) Do you have an illustration of how to do it? Thanks

Answer
Google up the words> set up windsurfer <and you will get some different websites on how to do this.  All boards set up differently so I would need to actually see all your parts to be able to help you. Here is one you can try.
