Once you have chosen the right type of windsurfing equipment, you can get started practicing. You can start slowly, going upwind on flat waters and gradually moving towards the waves. It's best to avoid strong winds when starting out because they could tear apart your sails. You can then move on to choppy oceans once you have mastered sailing on flat water. If something does go wrong, it is important to be prepared before you begin windsurfing on rough waters.
