Then all you need is flat water and a stubbie holder attached to the boom.

If Wet Willy still reads the thread, I want to add that your idea of shore break might be different than the next guy. It all depends on where you sail. In the book Perfect Windsurfing there are some great sequenced pictures of a female pro crossing the shore bread in Maui. She does it with a very small board and basically jumps and catches air when crossing the foam.

Yes, Wet Willy still reads the thread. And after lots of crap, it's getting back on topic again. Thanks Brewsy, I wonder if I can find that book in Vietnam..

Wow.

How does she get planing on the beach sand? I mean so as to cross the shorebreak and be able to jump it? You do realise the definition of shorebreak.... by its very nature it can't be jumped when heading out as it is right on the beach! I think you have seen pics of some girl crossing some whitewater which is 50yards out or something, and you wanted to just post something.
