We have various sizes of sail for all levels of windsurfer, from tiny child-size 2 metre rigs to 8.6 metre sails from Tushingham like the Start, the Easy, the Rock and the famous Bolt.

We use RD masts (reduced diameter) or 'skinny masts’ which really offer a big leap in performance, making rigs feel lighter and more responsive. We also use lightweight booms, adjustable harness lines and uphauls. Our beach team are always on hand to help you rig up, get launched and retune your sail to suit the conditions.
