		<title>Windsurfing 101 &#8230; Boards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may ask yourself “Why are there so many different models of boards on the market ?” A relevant question with a relevant answer: Because there are an infinite variety of different wind strengths and water conditions that you can go windsurfing in.
&#160;
Most boards are designed for specific conditions and it all may seem very [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Windsurfing 101 &#8230; Boards", url: "http://www.2radwindsurfblog.com/windsurfing/119-windsurfing-101-boards/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>The Importance of Rigging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rigging is just one of those things a windsurfer has to deal with.  Proper rigging can make or break a windsurfing session, and one small variation in the adjustment of your windsurfing equipment might ruin your day. 
 
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>

		<title>Windsurfing 101 &#8230; Harnesses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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 that [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Windsurfing 101 &#8230; Harnesses", url: "http://www.2radwindsurfblog.com/windsurfing/107-windsurfing-101-harness/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Windsurfing 101 &#8230; The Uphaul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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.  
Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a beginner, this small but important [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Windsurfing 101 &#8230; The Uphaul", url: "http://www.2radwindsurfblog.com/windsurfing/106-106/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Windsurfing 101 &#8230; Harness Lines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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).
They are available in a variety of fixed or adjustable lengths. Some adjustable harness lines [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Windsurfing 101 &#8230; Harness Lines", url: "http://www.2radwindsurfblog.com/windsurfing/101-how-to-harness-lines/" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a section dedicated to helping you understand what a wetsuit is all about.
Neoprene: A closed cell rubber foam, lined on one or two sides with a jersey fabric. It is the lining that dictates the stretch within the suit. There are many names for the variations of superstretch fabric, but far less differences between [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Windsurfing 101 &#8230; Wetsuits Part 1", url: "http://www.2radwindsurfblog.com/windsurfing/97-windsurfing-101-wetsuits-1/" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Choosing a wetsuit that fit your sports needs is essential.  The wrong suit can cause discomfort and tax you physically.  Different sports and climates require different wetsuits, and proper fit is key. Wetsuit manufacturers have greatly increased their understanding of materials and comfort; modern neoprene is now supple and stretchy and made to perfectly fit the curves [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Windsurfing 101 &#8230; Wetsuits Part 2", url: "http://www.2radwindsurfblog.com/windsurfing/80-how-to-choose-wetsuits/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Windsurfing 101 &#8230; Mast Bases</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The mast foot fits in the bottom of the mast, and includes either a tendon, rubber or mechanical universal joint windsurfing mast base. This joint either connects straight into the board&#8217;s mast track, or to a deckplate, bolted into a slot in the board&#8217;s deck.

The universal joint allows a rig to be inclined or held at any [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Windsurfing 101 &#8230; Mast Bases", url: "http://www.2radwindsurfblog.com/windsurfing/86-86/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Windsurfing 101 &#8230; Windsurfing Booms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The windsurfing boom is a piece of equipment that attaches to the mast of a windsurf board, providing structural support for the sail. Early booms were tied to the mast using rope, but many newer booms utilize a clamp mechanism for attachments. Booms are often referred to wishbone booms due to their symmetrical shape and are constructed [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Windsurfing 101 &#8230; Windsurfing Booms", url: "http://www.2radwindsurfblog.com/windsurfing/83-what-is-a-windsurfing-boom/" });</script>]]></description>
