Windsurfing: Pick Up an Olympic Sport



There’s no time like the present to start checking off a bucket list of sports you’ve always meant to try but haven’t gotten around to yet. One idea while the days are still warm: Windsurfing.

Windsurfers maneuver a board with an attached sail that rotates. The sport’s primitive origins date back to 1948, with a technological boost by aerospace engineer Jim Drake in the 1960s, according to World of Windsurfing. Windsurfing has been an Olympic sport since 1984.

Over the decades, the sport and its gear have evolved to encompass a variety of styles. Just about anyone can learn the basics of windsurfing. With experience, advanced windsurfers can slalom, ride waves and perform gravity-defying tricks.
