Before we get stuck into this let’s just set the record straight: wave sailing doesn’t
suck, but it’s a bloody frustrating part of windsurfing that many riders are in the
habit of chasing, in many cases to fruitless ends too often. Especially when other
forms of windsurfing would fit the bill so much better. Or in the face of decent waves
and no wind using an alternative form of surf craft altogether.
