<p>I would be happy to help you. I've been giving windsurfing lessons for 14 years. In 45 minutes you'll be able to sail in both directions and complete very basic jibe turns. I live in Haslett MI near E. Lansing. I provide all the gear needed for a successful experience. Call me if you're interested. 517-927-9498</p>

<p>Brian,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've read all over that buying good gear makes all the difference, but I cannot see putting $1k into something I may not even like. If I get this old board up and running I'll know if I want to go get something new. I actually don't really know anyone who windsurfs right now, If I see anyone out I'll attempt to sail, splash and flail my way over!</p>
<p></p>
<p>And the gear is definitely dated, but it doesn't have a wooden boom like some of the ones I've…</p>

<p>Congrats! As a sit-down sailor you should have an advantage over a complete</p>
<p>newbie. The bad news is that windsurfing can be a lifelong addiction.</p>

<p>Arrmon,</p>
<p>It really helps to have the right gear, and also to get lessons or help from capable friends. I don't know what gear you bought, but often the stuff on Craig's list is pretty dated and too narrow to learn on. There are a number of people that sail Cass Lake, so don't hesitate to ask. Everyone pays their dues, but getting off on the right foot helps.</p>
