An 18-year-old windsurfer from Germany launched a website where windsurfers can easily filter and search boards and sails from every brand in the industry.
Windsurfstuff.com aggregates over 100 boards and 100 sails from 22 windsurfing companies. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced windsurfer, you can get exactly what you need.
