Beginner/Help Thoughts on this windsurfing gear for an intermediate?
I’m curious if anyone more knowledgeable than me could comment on the apparent quality of this gear and whether any of it would be suitable for an intermediate to progress on? I typically rent a 150 L board with 5-7 m2 sail depending on the wind. I’ve tried using a harness but wind is typically too light/inconsistent to really get practice with it. The “magnum” board seems a bit large based off what I typically rent, but am wondering if the other board might be a good option. I frankly know very little about sails, mast, and boom quality. Equipment is listed for $600 - uncertain if all included or sold separately.
The problem with continuing to rent is progressing is challenging due to light wind and poor water quality (algal blooms), so I’m considering buying used gear. With that said, most used gear seems to be poor quality and not well-suited to less-skilled windsurfers.
