Windsurfing the Starboard Super 12-6 SUP at Lake Bung Taco in Bangkok Thailand
During my visit to Starboard headquarters Svein thought it would be a good idea for me to try and windsurf. I was excited but a bit reluctant. First off, there was no wind. Second, I have no windsurfing experience. He asked the resident pro instructor, Duncan to teach me so I decided to give it a shot. I was surprised that Duncan could even get the Super 12′6″ SUP to move in the sub 5 mph winds.
When I got to try it I actually got up and started to get it moving…well at least in my mind. lol. I ended up in the lily pads a couple times and Duncan had to come and get me out. Here are some pics below.
Duncan unrolls the 5-meter SUP Windsurf Sail to rig on the Starboard Super 12′6″ SUP
He installs the boom(?) in the sail
Adding in the tie down rope
Duncan finishes installing the 5-meter sail specifically designed for the Starboard Super 12′6″ SUP
Duncan gets the Starboard Super 12′6″ sailing along
It’s amazing how Duncan got the board to move with almost no wind
Evan actually gets up and starts sailing the Starboard Super 12′6″
Yeah! Finally moving…kinda.
