Is windsurfing difficult? Always wanted to try it but have crap balance.
No naturals in windsurfing, it's all about how much you want it.
There are a couple of types of windsurfing. Drifting around on a big board can be learnt in a few hours, it's social and you would pick nice days that are sunny with light wind.
The 2nd type is shortboarding which takes some effort to learn, you have to want to do it, but it's addictive flying across the water, carving around turns, and doing loops in the air. This kind generally takes place when it's very windy, and conditions are too horrible for the general public to be out, which is why most think windsurfing is long gone.
