Andy’s Reviews: Windsurfing Gear for Kids!
Rider: Andy
Gender: Male
Weight: 85 lbs
Age: 12
Skill Level: Intermediate windsurfer (working on his jibes)
Gear that stokes the advancing grom.
Andy uses Sailworks Rippers as his main sails, in the 2.5 and 3.3 sizes. The Rippers are just as durable as adult sails, but are designed with the height, weight and strength of kids in mind. Andy can rig and downhaul the Ripper sails himself, without adult intervention, which makes both him and his mother stoked. Being able to rig your own gear means more time on the water for both mother and son!
Andy rode the JP Australia Young Gun 114 last year, which was instrumental in helping him progress to the next level in his windsurfing. This year he’s working on his jibes, and hopes to ride the Starboard Evo 75 for the season. That said, he’s also eyeing up his mom’s Naish wave boards!
Keep it up, Andy! You’re a ripper!
