48FEATURENON-PLANING freeride board will work, with possibly a fin tweak to make sure you’re not dredging up sand! Maybe not quite as efficient but it’s kit that’ll still get you riding in not too much puff and should therefore always be on the packing checklist when heading to the beach during summer. As you can tell we’re big fans of windsurfing cruising. It’s something we do a lot of here at WSUK HQ. (Those beady eyed will already have scoped our Windsurfer LT test). Of course we’d love to be out fully lit in wave sailing scenarios every day but that isn’t always possible. Our mantra is very much tools for the job, without breaking the bank. So next time you’re thinking of putting off going to the beach because the forecast looks dud think again. Stick your big log on the roof and head on down for some back and forth light wind sunshine cruising. Trust us: you’ll be thankful you did… uk WIND SURFING
