Wind surfing is a surface water sport, which involves the use of a sailboard or a windsurf board that is powered by a single sail. This sport is a blend of aspects of surfing and sailing along with sports like skateboarding, snowboarding, waterskiing etc. Windsurfing includes speed sailing, wave sailing, course racing etc.

While windsurfing is possible under a wide range of wind conditions, most recreational windsurfers prefer to sail in conditions that allow for consistent planning with multi-purpose, not overly specialized, free-ride equipment.
