Get your fitness levels ready so that you can enjoy your sport from the outset

Windsurfing requires the physical skills of balance and stamina, rather than brute force. For a well-trained and safety conscious participant, the risk of injury (compared to other sports) is relatively low. However, when injuries occur they can be severe. The most common windsurfing injuries involve the following:

Back injuries - such as muscle pain, muscle strain or disc injury. The lower back is most vulnerable.

Sprains - the ligaments of the ankle and foot are particularly vulnerable.

Fractures - particularly of the ankle and foot. These injuries tend to occur when the person falls off the board while their feet remain hooked under the straps.

Dislocated shoulder - the shoulder is prone to dislocation when the person falls from the board but fails to let go of the boom.

A person with poor stamina and flexibility is much more likely to get hurt playing any type of sport. My program will involve strengthening the core and lower back.  All muscle groups need to be balanced to prevent injury.
