THE WINDSURFER’S CHRISTMAS LIST 2019.

There comes that time every year when we must truly think of what stuff we really need as presents for Christmas, think of it as a reward for having slacked off to go windsurfing any time it’s windy. Fear not though, your need for thinking is over, as we have compiled a handy list so you can get back to slacking off and going windsurfing a.s.a.p. 


SURFBENT

Surfbent say, “If you want to stop your beloved board being damaged and avoid annoying repairs, then the new Surfbent windsurf board protector (wbp) can help. The Surfbent wbp consists of a tough plastic material that mounts directly onto your mastfoot and reduces the energy of the impact via the powerjoint or tendon (energy reduction through deformation), so that damage to the nose is reduced or avoided. The Surfbent wbp is available in four colours, weighs approx. 250 g and can be mounted on any board with a mastfoot up to 110 mm in diameter. The price is €59 – cheaper than most board repairs.“

TRICKTIONARY 3

TR3 and app 480px

The Tricktionary crew tell us, “The perfect present, ideal for every windsurfer, is our very popular coffee table instructional windsurfing book, the new Tricktionary 3. With 480 pages (188 pages more than Tricktionary 2) in 7 main categories, it never gets boring! Includes light wind freestyle as well as focus moves such as the fast tack, power jibe, 360 and chop hop, as well as wave basics, latest power moves and a slalom chapter. Yes, you need the book even if you have TR1 and/or TR2 already – and it works perfectly hand in hand with the constantly updated Windsurfing Tricktionary app, which you can even buy in a TRICKPACK package deal together with the book (get a free month premium access with code ‘WSUK2019’)! Tricktionary 3 book R.R.P. €49.90.”

SUBSCRIBE TO WINDSURF

WS Subs 480px

The search for the greatest, in our opinion, windsurfing present is over – a subscription to ‘Windsurf’ magazine! I know as journos we are meant to be impartial and yes it’s not ethical and we are just trying to protect our jobs and well there are other magazines out there like pencil sharpeners monthly, but if you do fancy the world’s number one windsurf magazine with the best features, test reports and technique articles all delivered to your door ten times a year then why not ask for a ‘Windsurf’ subscription for Christmas! Available in premium print or a multi format digital app, it’s also great value at £47 for UK postage, Europe £67 and rest of world £77 and £29.25 for digital.
