Boards, sails, and masts are diverse creatures and they all function differently.  Regulate your gear in small increments, and [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "The Importance of Rigging", url: "http://www.2radwindsurfblog.com/windsurfing/113-the-importance-of-rigging/" });</script>]]></description>

The harness is not something that the beginner thinks about right away, as it won’t be necessary in the first few “dips” in the water. 
As you progress though, a harness will allow you to take the strain from your arms and shoulders and incorporate the rig into a “full body experience”. This means [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Windsurfing 1.01-Harness", url: "http://www.2radwindsurfblog.com/windsurfing/107-windsurfing-101-harness/" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The UPHAUL
The UPHAUL is the thick rope that is used to pull the sail out of the water.  It is often made from tubular webbing with elastic bungee cord in it to keep it out of the way (against the mast) when not in use.

HARNESS LINES are not something that a beginner will need right away until they are ready to purchase a harness (see harness description below). Harness lines are basically a loop of plastic-coated rope attached to the boom (one on each side).
