Windsurfing: Windsurfing is a sport involving travel over water on a small 24.7 meter board powered by wind acting on a single sail. The sail is connected to the board by a flexible joint. The sport is a hybrid between sailing and surfing. The sailboard might be considered the most minimalist version of the modern sailboat, with the major exception that steering is accomplished by the rider tilting the mast and sail or, when planning, carving the board, rather than with a rudder.
