Kids windsurf gear

[emearg]

Hi all,
I want to get my 12 yr old daughter out windsurfing and are looking for learner boards and/or a kids rig.
Thanks in Advance.

invest in an aquaglider which is an inflatable, perfect for learning the wind direction and boom sail handling, stays upwind too unlike the wind glider

I’ve taught many with this rig, easy to get stoked. A bit to lug around unless you can keep it inflated

Thanks i will look into that !! Appreciate the help.

Quick google and they dont look like they are that readily available, suggestions on where to purchase around Van or VI ?

Cheers !

for beers and promises of great care, you can borrow mine I guess. No, they come up on the used classifieds on occasion, kijijii etc. . I don't see them in stores anymore, REI had them once so Bellingham if they get em in.

I second the recommendation of the aqua/wind glider , here’s one for sale on the mainland

Aquaglider stays upwind, I’d endorse that more. My experience with the mistral unit wasn’t as good, I own(ed) both

I've got an old Start which the kids use. Also I have some of the Ezzy kids rigs but unless she's very small they are too little.
Instead I've got an old quite light 3m that I setup with a modern boom and 340rdm.
