Windsurfing is a water sport whereby competitors sail or race a board powered by a single sail across an inland lake, open sea or specially designed pools for indoor windsurfers. The person holds a horizontal boom and moves the sail to catch the wind. Good windsurfers rely on excellent balance, stamina and no shortage of technical ability. More advanced windsurfers can reach up to 50mph and perform gravity-defying tricks such as jumps, spins and loops.
