Windsurfing (also called boardsailing) is a surface water sport involving travel over water on a small 2-4.7 meter board powered by wind acting on a single sail. The sail is connected to the board by a flexible joint. The sport is a hybrid between sailing and surfing. The sail board might be considered the most minimalistic version of the modern sailboat, with the major exception that steering is accomplished by the rider tilting the mast and sail or, when planing, carving the board, rather than with a rudder.

Windsurfers can travel over flat water as long as there is enough wind; they can also cut into breaking waves and perform spectacular stunts. Windsurfing can mean a peaceful relaxed pastime on the water to some people, it can be a high-stress high-adrenalin sport to others.

Though windsurfing is possible in winds from 5 to 50 kts, the ideal conditions are 15-25 kts.
