Hi, I am keen to get into windsurfing and would like some advice on a good second hand set up to get, (i'm a 15 1/2 yea old weighing 85kg). However i'm on a bit of a budget :/ with around $700-800 being it upper limit, I have looked at the second hand boards here that are 120L+ and they are all quite expensive and it just the board as well. My father did suggest that we could make a board (he's had some experience making sailing dinghies), does anyone know where I could buy some plans for a 120L+ board around 240cm long? Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Post this in the Windsurfing General Forum and the Windsurfing QLD forum.
I'm sure there is plenty of kit out there that will gladly be donated for a reasonable price to get you up and going.

Wot the pirate said!

I have found windsurfers to be pretty generous with thier superceded gear, and plenty of them are happy to help out beginners.

Giving away or offloading un-needed gear also means more space for new stuff

Windsurfing gear is given away as the sport is defunct. It has been superseded
