Windsurfing
Often regarded as an extreme water sport, windsurfing combines elements of surfing and sailing, and in reality can be as sedate or as extreme as you wish it to be. Windsurfers stand on a board, usually 2-3 metres long, to ride along the surface of the water with a sail powered by the wind. The sail is connected to the board by a mast and has a bar to hang on to for control and balance.
