AboutPatrick 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.
Question just received a gift of a bic 250 wind surf2201 learning 1988 have no idea how to attach boom to mast for there is no clamp just rope around the boom can you help
Answer Put the sail on the mast. Lay the sail and mast on the ground. Slide the boom down to the position you want it on the mast. Lay the boom back end in line with the top of the mast. Tie the boom onto the mast. Flip the back part of boom down and this will clamp it to the mast.
