What board or sail is best for me?
Windsurfing is one of the most versatile watersports around. The amount of different types of windsurfing that can be done on the water is simply incredible and is what makes windsurfing appeal to such a wide variety of people. Whether it's your first time on the board, or enjoy cruising light winds on the lake there are boards and sails designed for light wind. If the rush of riding gale force winds in Cape Hatteras and jumping over waves is more your style, there is windsurf gear for you! Even if flying on a foil, 2-3 feet above the water sounds like fun, there is that perfect board and sail for your specific use.
Learn, Progression & Light Wind Gear
The boards we use at OBX Windsurfing to teach new windsurfers to progress on are the Severne Revo. These are incredible boards that are durable, stable and have enough float to have a blast in light wind conditions. They can also double as Stand Up Paddle boards thanks to their full deck pads and impact resistant decks and rails. We pair these boards with the Severne Synergy Rig making for a light weight, stable and durable windsurf kit to learn and progress on. Perfect for learning, or light wind windsurfing.

Progression
Choosing the right board to help you progress can make or break your windsurfing career. You need a board that is easy to get into the footstraps, a board that is stable, early planing and can make learning to jibe as easy as possible. The Severne Verso was specifically designed with the progressing windsurfer in mind. Multiple footstrap positions make learning to get into the straps a breeze. The flat rocker line and wide outline will make getting onto a plane as easy as possible. We've also had the Verso up over 30mph on the GPS, so it's certainly no slouch either! The Verso should be the first board you purchase if you are looking to get into high performance windsurfing. You won't outgrow the Verso until you're ready to start your racing career. Simply an incredible all-around board that will take you to the next level. Paired with the Severne Gator Sail, you'll have one very well rounded package that you will enjoy for years to come!
